[RESOLVED] [2008] sending lots of emails.

[masfenix]

So lets say If I want to send about 5000 - 10,000 emails to the suscribed members.

Should I just create a normal MailMessage and then loop through emails, and use the add property to add them,

OR

Loop through each email, and send a new instance of the mailmessage.

Will this be a problem concerning my SMTP server/

I think you should do this and about the SMTP i amde a program that sent heaps of e-mails and got an exception saying something along the lines of "too many connections"or something like that but i was sending the e-mails to one address. What is the SMTP server ur using?

[masfenix]

I am gonna ask my hosting company if I can use there's without getting marked as spam or getting blacklisted.

My next choice would be to call my ISP and ask them if its okay to use theres.

If not, I'll send emails to Google, MSN, and Yahoo, and other various email companies to get permission to use there.

Yeah good idea another smtp server is bluebottle however i think if you send an e-mail from them to a hotmail account it gets marked as junk.

The big three won't agree or respond to this in most likelihood and your ISP might go paranoid the moment you ask the question.

You'll need to get your own hosting server which allows you to do this.

Thanks all.
So it settled, i should be creating a new instance of the .net mail message and setting one email per instance, and sending that. Then I dispose it, and start all over again.

cool.
