Sending Email from GoDaddy Windows Shared Hosting using asp.net 3.5

 

The server "relay-hosting.secureserver.net" is used to send email from your hosted domain on GoDaddy.com servers. You must populate the SmtpMail object's SmtpServer property with this value.

 

// import namespace

using System.Web.Mail;

private void SendEmail()

{

   const string SERVER = "relay-hosting.secureserver.net";

   MailMessage oMail = new System.Web.Mail.MailMessage();

   oMail.From = "emailaddress@domainname";

   oMail.To = "emailaddress@domainname";

   oMail.Subject = "Test email subject";

   oMail.BodyFormat = MailFormat.Html; // enumeration

   oMail.Priority = MailPriority.High; // enumeration

   oMail.Body = "Sent at: " + DateTime.Now;

   SmtpMail.SmtpServer = SERVER;

   SmtpMail.Send(oMail);

   oMail = null; // free up resources

}

Note: GoDaddy servers will not send email containing a “From:” header entry of gmail, yahoo, hotmail, live, aim, aol or msn.

Happy Coding…
