< ? php
//define the receiver of the email
$to = ‘youremail@testmail.com’;
//define the subject of the email
$subject = ‘Test HTML email’;
//create a boundary string. It must be unique
//so we use the MD5 algorithm to generate a random hash
$random_hash = md5(date(‘r’, time()));
//define the headers we want passed. Note that they are separated with \r\n
$headers = “From: webmaster@testmail.com\r\nReply-To: webmaster@testmail.com”;
//add boundary string and mime type specification
$headers .= “\r\nContent-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary=\”PHP-alt-”.$random_hash.”\”";
//define the body of the message.
ob_start(); //Turn on output buffering

Hello World!!!
This is simple text email message.

–PHP-alt-< ? php echo $random_hash; ? >
Content-Type: text/html; charset=”iso-8859-1″
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Hello World!

This is something with HTML formatting.

–PHP-alt-< ? php echo $random_hash; ? >–
< ?
//copy current buffer contents into $message variable and delete current output buffer
$message = ob_get_clean();
//send the email
$mail_sent = @mail( $to, $subject, $message, $headers );
//if the message is sent successfully print “Mail sent”. Otherwise print “Mail failed”
echo $mail_sent ? “Mail sent” : “Mail failed”;

Send mail from ASP.NET using your gmail account

This article demonstrate that how to send a mail in aspl.net using your gmail account. You can also use other mail account as follow these instructions.

However, one thing the function can’t do is SSL authentication. Lets add that:

public static void SendMail(string sHost, int nPort,
string sUserName, string sPassword, string sFromName,
string sFromEmail, string sToName,
string sToEmail, string sHeader,
string sMessage, bool fSSL)
{
if (sToName.Length == 0)
sToName = sToEmail;
if (sFromName.Length == 0)
sFromName = sFromEmail;

System.Web.Mail.MailMessage Mail = new System.Web.Mail.MailMessage();
Mail.Fields["http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver"] = sHost;
Mail.Fields["http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing"] = 2;

Mail.Fields["http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport"] = nPort.ToString();
if ( fSSL )
Mail.Fields["http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpusessl"] = “true”;

if (sUserName.Length == 0)
{
//Ingen auth
}
else
{
Mail.Fields["http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticate"] = 1;
Mail.Fields["http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername"] = sUserName;
Mail.Fields["http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword"] = sPassword;
}

Mail.To = sToEmail;
Mail.From = sFromEmail;
Mail.Subject = sHeader;
Mail.Body = sMessage;
Mail.BodyFormat = System.Web.Mail.MailFormat.Html;

System.Web.Mail.SmtpMail.SmtpServer = sHost;
System.Web.Mail.SmtpMail.Send(Mail);
}

Now, the secret is the last parameter, bool fSSL. If true then we set the magic CDO field cdo/configuration/smtpusessl to true:

if ( fSSL )
Mail.Fields["http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpusessl"] = “true”;

If you have SSL authentication pass last parameter true. Which gmail for example uses so look at this example:

SendMail(“smtp.gmail.com”,
465,
“account@gmail.com”,
“”,
“Your name”,
“account@gmail.com”,
“Stefan Receiver”,
“receive@whatever.com”,
“Test”,
“Hello there Steff!”,
true);

So secret to get mail working against gmail is: port 465 – server smtp.gmail.com and ssl = true.

string text = “”;

text = text + “Hello ! this is a test mail

objMail.To = “text@testmail.com”;

objMail.Bcc = “dinesh2k20@gmail.com”;

objMail.Subject = “Website Enquiry:”;

objMail.Body = text;
