I have two methods the first one is the simplest one like below , while in second one i am formatting my email content , the second method calls another method to format and then it calls another method for smtp settings, the first method works fine it is sending email to my domain email address like omer@planrbme.com.pk while the second method is not sending email to my domain emil address omer@planrbme.com.pk , it is sending email to all others but not to my domain email address . below are the two methods the first one is fine but the second one is sending email to all other email address except my domain email address why it is so.
First Method:

VB

Private Sub SendHtmlFormattedEmail(ByVal recepientEmail As String, ByVal subject As String, ByVal body As String)
        Dim mailMessage As System.Net.Mail.MailMessage = New System.Net.Mail.MailMessage
        Try
            mailMessage.From = New MailAddress(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("UserName"))
            mailMessage.Subject = subject
            mailMessage.Body = body
            mailMessage.IsBodyHtml = True
            mailMessage.To.Add(New MailAddress(recepientEmail))
            Dim files As List(Of HttpPostedFile) = DirectCast(Cache(Me.Key), List(Of HttpPostedFile))
            For Each file As HttpPostedFile In files
                mailMessage.Attachments.Add(New Attachment(file.InputStream, Path.GetFileName(file.FileName), file.ContentType))
            Next
            Dim SMTP As New SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com")
            SMTP.EnableSsl = True
            SMTP.Credentials = New System.Net.NetworkCredential("sweet.uet@gmail.com", "forgot123")
            SMTP.Port = 587
            SMTP.Send(mailMessage)
            smtp.Send(mailMessage)
        Catch ex As Exception
            ex.Message.ToString()
        End Try
    End Sub

Second Method:

VB

Private Sub SendEmail()
                GetUserIDEmail(Session("LoggedInUserId"))
        Dim Mail As New MailMessage
        Try
            Mail.IsBodyHtml = True
            Dim MailText As String = Nothing
            'Dim attachment As System.Net.Mail.Attachment
            Mail.Subject = " Report Submitted By  : " & Session("LoggedInUserFullName") & "   " & "User Type :" & GetUserTypeName(CInt(Session("UserTypes")))
            MailText = MailText + "<font face="verdana" color="#000000">" & "Dear User, " & "</font><br /><br />" & Environment.NewLine
            MailText = MailText + "<font face="verdana" color="#000000">" + " " & "we are glad to inform you that your records  has accepted.</font>" & "<br /> ""<font face="Verdana"><br />" + AcceptComments & """</font> " + Environment.NewLine
            MailText = MailText + "<font face="Verdana"><br />" & " Regards," & "   " & "<br />" & "Plan Pakistan RBME TEAM" + "</font>" & vbCrLf
            Mail.IsBodyHtml = True

            Mail.Body = MailText
            Dim files As List(Of HttpPostedFile) = DirectCast(Cache(Me.Key), List(Of HttpPostedFile))
            For Each file As HttpPostedFile In files
                Mail.Attachments.Add(New Attachment(file.InputStream, Path.GetFileName(file.FileName), file.ContentType))
            Next



            Mail.From = New MailAddress("sweet.uet@gmail.com")
            Dim SMTP As New SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com")
            SMTP.EnableSsl = True
            SMTP.Credentials = New System.Net.NetworkCredential("sweet.uet@gmail.com", "forgot123")
            SMTP.Port = 587
            SMTP.Send(Mail)


        Catch ex As Exception
            ex.Message.ToString()

        End Try
    End Sub

What I have tried:

ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback = AddressOf OnValidateCertificate

ServicePointManager.Expect100Continue = True

If the message body is different then it's probably getting flagged as spam.

Don't use gmail to send email though, especially anything business critical, use the smtp server provided by your web host, or system admin if it's internal hosting.

Tadit Dash (ତଡିତ୍ କୁମାର ଦାଶ) 25-Jul-16 7:10am

Yes, most likely.

Malikdanish 25-Jul-16 7:22am

I want to send an email to a company domain account like danish.habib@plan-international.org

Tadit Dash (ତଡିତ୍ କୁମାର ଦାଶ) 25-Jul-16 7:39am

Is it going to spam? Have you checked?

Malikdanish 25-Jul-16 7:41am

I have outlook configured it has inbox,Drats,SentItem,deletedItems,Junk,outbox,Clutter, No Spam folder and in these my email does not coming in these folder

Tadit Dash (ତଡିତ୍ କୁମାର ଦାଶ) 25-Jul-16 7:41am

And btw where is Mail.To?

Malikdanish 25-Jul-16 9:20am

My code executed well no error no warning no exception , I have specified the Mail.TO as well in my code
mailMessage.To.Add(New MailAddress(recepientEmail))

Tadit Dash (ତଡିତ୍ କୁମାର ଦାଶ) 25-Jul-16 11:20am

I don't see that in the second method.

Malikdanish 25-Jul-16 11:23am

my second method works fine the first one is having issue i may have removed that line from second method , but the issue is with first method.

Malikdanish 26-Jul-16 1:26am

Malikdanish 26-Jul-16 1:27am

can you assist me more

Malikdanish 26-Jul-16 1:28am

can you assist me any more , i want to share with you the whole code snippet

Malikdanish 25-Jul-16 7:20am

my first method is using the same smtp.gmail and it works fine ?why the second one is not working

F-ES Sitecore 25-Jul-16 7:43am

I wouldn't waste time trying to find out, gmail is not suitable for sending important emails through. First off, would you trust any email that is supposedly a business email that has come from a gmail account rather than that business' own domain? Second of all there are many reasons your emails just won't get through or will stop working. Just don't use gmail's smtp servers, you can normally still send emails "from" gmail via your webhost's smtp server.

Malikdanish 25-Jul-16 9:25am

Dear I Understand what you said , Actually i just want to confirm that why my second method works fine with same smtp configuration and my first method is not working , Actually My first methods is called by another method ,so it calls that email sending method.

Contact your system admin who manages the email server. He should allow the html content.

Malikdanish 1-Aug-16 1:11am

When i am getting my domain email address by calling a method then it does not send email to that address when i hard coded it then it send the email my domain email is d.habib@plan-international.org , below the code of send email method .
Private Sub SendHtmlFormattedEmail(ByVal recepientEmail As String, ByVal subject As String, ByVal body As String)

Dim mailMessage As System.Net.Mail.MailMessage = New System.Net.Mail.MailMessage

Try

mailMessage.From = New MailAddress(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("UserName"))

' mailMessage.CC.Add("danish.habib@plan-international.org")

mailMessage.Bcc.Add("spober_woh@yahoo.com")

mailMessage.Subject = subject

mailMessage.Body = body

mailMessage.IsBodyHtml = True

mailMessage.To.Add(New MailAddress(recepientEmail))

Dim files As List(Of HttpPostedFile) = DirectCast(Cache(Me.Key), List(Of HttpPostedFile))

For Each file As HttpPostedFile In files

mailMessage.Attachments.Add(New Attachment(file.InputStream, Path.GetFileName(file.FileName), file.ContentType))

Next

mailMessage.From = New MailAddress("omer@planrbme.com.pk")

Dim smtp As New SmtpClient()

smtp.Host = "202.165.228.15"

smtp.EnableSsl = False

smtp.Credentials = New System.Net.NetworkCredential("omer@planrbme.com.pk", "Pakistan_123")

smtp.Port = 25

smtp.Send(mailMessage)

Catch ex As Exception

End Try

End Sub

End Sub

"When i am getting my domain email address by calling a method then it does not send email to that address"

That means the problem is here. Please review that method and put a debugger and see why it is not returning the correct address.

Malikdanish 1-Aug-16 2:10am

mailMessage.To.Add(New MailAddress(recepientEmail)) when i check my recepientEmail it has correct address but i do not know weather i have to convert it into a string at the end or not , my recepientEmail having correct email address

Tadit Dash (ତଡିତ୍ କୁମାର ଦାଶ) 1-Aug-16 2:16am

mailMessage.To.Add(recepientEmail);

This should work if recepientEmail is a string.

Malikdanish 1-Aug-16 2:18am

ok Thanks i am checking that Thanks for assistance and support

Malikdanish 1-Aug-16 2:51am

i am getting "Failure sending mail." message it did not work for any of the email address , my project sometimes gives that error i do not know why it is so Inner exception shows "{"A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond 202.165.228.15:25"}"

Malikdanish 1-Aug-16 2:53am

secondly when previouslly when i was not getting any exception than i receive that email i think it puts my email into the spam folder as shown below how to allow to receive email on domain danish.habib@plan-international.org

Tadit Dash (ତଡିତ୍ କୁମାର ଦାଶ) 1-Aug-16 7:15am

Is it sending a normal mail?

Malikdanish 1-Aug-16 8:15am

nothing it is sending nothing ? when it gets danish.habib@plan-international.org when i Hard code this email to mail.CC.ADD("danish.habib@plan-international.org") then it sends email correctly

Tadit Dash (ତଡିତ୍ କୁମାର ଦାଶ) 1-Aug-16 10:50am

It's confusing. It's just a string, you can put a variable and add that to the mail.cc. It should not create any issue.

Malikdanish 1-Aug-16 14:02pm

I am also confused it is sending email to marktabor47@gmail.com,also send email to spober_woh@yahoo.com but not to danish.habib@plan-international.org

Malikdanish 2-Aug-16 3:19am

The problem was from the server which was not receiving my email , may b blocking the IP so contacting them resolved the issue Many Thanks to all of you specially Tadit Dash you support alot , now i will write an article on that specific Topic very soon because after doing lot of R & D i have to put it int a forum and code project is the absolute place.

Tadit Dash (ତଡିତ୍ କୁମାର ଦାଶ) 2-Aug-16 6:36am

Thanks. :)

When we started the discussion, I told you to check the server things first because this type of issue comes when server blocks the emails.

Glad that I helped you. You can show some love by giving some stars. :P ;)

Thanks,
Tadit
