Hi gurus
I have the following code that put together with all your help, It works fine sending email but once I want to send an attachment it just dont do it, no error is given,the application does not crash, just the email with the attachment not been sent or at least not been getting by the account.

as you can see I am using sbcglobal to send my emails

Thanks for any help gurus

Code:

---


Dim filetosend As New System.Web.Mail.MailAttachment("c:\file.txt")

        Try
            Dim emailaccount As New System.Web.Mail.MailMessage
            emailaccount.To = "[email protected]"
            emailaccount.From = "[email protected]"
            emailaccount.Body = " "
            emailaccount.Subject = "my attachment"
            emailaccount.Attachments.Add(filetosend)
            email.BodyFormat = Web.Mail.MailFormat.Text
            System.Web.Mail.SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "mail.sbcglobal.net"
            System.Web.Mail.SmtpMail.Send(emailaccount)
        Catch ex As Exception
            MsgBox(ex.Message)

        End Try

Are you using .NET 1.x or a later version? If it's a later version then you should be using System.Net.Mail rather than System.Web.Mail.

That said, if it works fine without attachments and you get no errors with an attachment then I'd suggest that there's nothing wrong with the code as far as it's being correct. I'd suggest that either the SMTP server is not allowing your attachment for some reason or else the firewall at the other end is snaffling it. Have you tried sending the same attachment from your own mail client to the same address? Does it get through?

Thanks a bunch, using 2003 Fw 1.1, I will give your suggestion a try, but using their client I know it works as I have done it many times, is when I use VB that I does not work.

Thanks
