Hi I am using ASP.NET 2.0 with C#.NET.

In my application, when client completes his shopping email will go to user. This works fine when the internet connection is working fine.
If there is some problem in the internet connection, if one mail stops then all the mails will be stopped even though the internet works fine.

How to resend the emails using SMTP server? Is there any option to resend the emails automatically when internet works fine?

Can you give an example which would help me?

You must be getting some error or so. Post it here. For now, looks like a queue interrupted and email header corrupt.

"C:\Inetpub\mailroot\Queue"

You might be having two many messages in the above mentioned path.

You probably need to check your SMTP server. Firstly make sure it is running and then check its permissions or whether it needs authentication. Sometime if an address does not have an MX record, this can cause a problem.

You should also try deleteing the first messages as they may be blocking up the queue. Also check that the e-mail address actually exists.
