Reads a mail message from the specified local file in MIME format and sends it using the specified SMTP server.

Namespace:  Rebex.Net
Assembly:  Rebex.Smtp (in Rebex.Smtp.dll)

Syntax

Visual Basic
Public Shared Sub Send ( _
	fileName As String, _
	serverName As String _
)
C#
public static void Send(
	string fileName,
	string serverName
)

Parameters

fileName
Type: System..::..String
The path to the mail message file.
serverName
Type: System..::..String
SMTP server hostname or IP address.

Remarks

The file must be in MIME format, other formats are not supported. MIME files often have the '.eml' extension and are produced by Outlook Express. In contrast, Outlook produces '.msg' files that are not MIME files and therefore cannot be sent using this method.

Both sender and the list of recipients are extracted from the message. The sender address is taken from the "Sender" header field, or from the first address in the "From" field if the "Sender" is missing. The list of recipients comes from "To", "Cc" and "Bcc" header fields. Also, the "Bcc" field is removed from message headers prior to sending.
