Hello friends..
I am creating a page in asp.net to send mails, where Credentials ('userid'and 'password') and From are should be different.

for example:
if I am sending mail using creadentials,
UserID: abc@gmail.com
password:123456

then

mail received by recipient should appear as

From : xyz@gmail.com
To : recipient@gmail.com
Subjet: Hi
Message: Hello Dear..

Please notice the 'From : '

Please help..
Here is the code that I am using...

System.Net.NetworkCredential _Credential = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(UserID, Password);
            System.Net.Mail.MailMessage _MailMessage = new MailMessage();
            _MailMessage.To.Add(txt_email.Text);
            _MailMessage.Subject = subject;

            _MailMessage.From = new System.Net.Mail.MailAddress(<big>From</big>);
            _MailMessage.Body = message;
            _MailMessage.IsBodyHtml = true;
            System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient _SmtpClient = new System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient(smtp);
            _SmtpClient.UseDefaultCredentials = true;
            _SmtpClient.EnableSsl = true;
            _SmtpClient.Credentials = _Credential;
            _SmtpClient.Port = Convert.ToInt32(port);
            _SmtpClient.Send(_MailMessage);

            lbl_Err.Text = "Mail Sent Successfully!";
            lbl_Err.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Green;
            lbl_Err.Visible = true;

Solution 1

When you set the From address, there is an override which allows this:

C#

mail.From = new MailAddress(fromAddress, fromDisplay, Encoding.UTF8);

If you have a look here there is a Tip which provides a generic method for the whole process: Sending an Email in C# with or without attachments: generic routine.[^]

Solution 3

By default, email sent with System.Web.Mail is formatted as plain text. To format as Html, set the MailMessage.BodyFormat property to MailFormat.Html.

ex:

XML

mail.BodyFormat = MailFormat.Html;
mail.Body = "this is my test email body.<br><b>this part is in bold</b>";
