Send Mail without IIS
-
Hi, You don't need IIS for sending emails. What you need is to connect to an SMTP (simple mail transfer protocol) server. Here's a sample: ... using System.Net.Mail; ... public bool SendEmail(ref string errMsg) { errMsg = ""; bool res = false; MailMessage msg = new MailMessage("fromemail@someserver.com", "toemail@someserver.com", "This is the subject", "This is the email body..."); msg.IsBodyHtml = false; SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient("smtp.someserver.com", 25); // the address and port of the SMTP server client.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("username", "password"); // user name and password to the SMTP server try { client.Send(msg); res = true; } catch (Exception e) { errMsg = e.Message; res = false; } return res; }

If you don't want to use IIS for sending main, then the replacement is Database. You can send mail over Internet using SQL Server. DB: Master Procedure: xp_sendmail

In our organization we have xp_sendmail stored procedure in MS SQL Server. Details of this are in MSDN http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms189505.aspx

If you don't have IIS installed, then you can't run ASP.NET, so why are you asking here ? Sending mail does not require IIS, it requires a mail server to send through, which IIS by default, is not. I don't know what these other people are telling you.

Not possible.. when install IIS on your server there is option of SMTP server that is fully responsible for mail transfer. even if you are able to third party tool for the SMTP server then is is possible..
