Hello everyone

C#

 foreach (EmailInfo data in emaildata.ToArray())
        {
            
           
            
                SmtpClient smtpClient = new SmtpClient();
                MailMessage mailMsg = new MailMessage();
                /////////other stuff for mail here///////
                smtpClient.Send(mailMsg);
                
                smtpClient.Dispose();

}

I am using .net framework 4.0.

It's more likely that your mail server is shutting it down unless you implemented your own mail server.

I'm guessing TCP sockets are lingering ...

Why don't you instantiate one smtpClient outside the loop, and reuse it inside the loop?

For sending bulk emails, there is a process for queuing and a separate process for sending. This leads to issues with large number of recipients. Suggestion would be to use Windows service or an external service to do it rather than ASP.NET.

Following sample can be of help: Simple Windows Service which sends auto Email alerts[^]
