Question

Work on vs2010 ,asp.net C#.Recently I work on smtp server.Using the smtp server I need to send mail, I already successfully done this job . To send mail I use the bellow syntax.

public string PostEmail(string mailSubject, string mailBody)
{

    string deliveryStatusCode = "Ok";
    if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(mailSubject) && !string.IsNullOrEmpty(gConfig.EmailTo))
    {
        MailMessage msg = new MailMessage();
        msg.To.Add(gConfig.EmailTo);
        msg.From = new MailAddress(gConfig.EmailTo);
        msg.Subject = mailSubject;
        msg.Body = mailBody;
        msg.IsBodyHtml = true;

        SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient(gConfig.SmtpHost, gConfig.SmtpPort);
        smtp.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(gConfig.SmtpCredentials, gConfig.SmtpPassword);
        smtp.EnableSsl = true;
        smtp.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;


        try
        {
            smtp.Send(msg);
        }
        catch (SmtpException smptpEx)
        {
            deliveryStatusCode = smptpEx.Message;
        }

    }
    else
    {
        deliveryStatusCode = "Invalid or null value entry.";
    }

    return deliveryStatusCode;
}

You can use a pickup directory, if the smpt server is down the mail is not send. When it comes online, it will read the files in the directory and starts sending the emails.
