RE: LOG4NET - SMTP Appender Not Working

[Usman Uppal]

Ron, I can send email using your sample code on hosted server.         using System.Web.Mail;  MailMessage mailMessage = new MailMessage();  mailMessage.To = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]";  mailMessage.From = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]";  mailMessage.Subject = "Subject";  mailMessage.Body = "Hello World";  SmtpServer.Send(mailMessage);     Any other suggestions?   Thanks,   Usman       -----Original Message----- From: Ron Grabowski [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 28, 2005 11:33 AM To: Log4NET User Subject: RE: LOG4NET - SMTP Appender Not Working   I don't think you mentioned the part about the application being hosted on a 3rd party server. Have you verified that you can send mail on that server?    using System.Web.Mail;  MailMessage mailMessage = new MailMessage();  mailMessage.To = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]";  mailMessage.From = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]";  mailMessage.Subject = "Subject";  mailMessage.Body = "Hello World";  SmtpServer.Send(mailMessage);   If you can't send mail, I would extend SmtpAppender and override the SendBuffer method to use something like OpenSMTP:    http://sourceforge.net/projects/opensmtp-net/   The new implementation would be very similiar to the base one:   http://tinyurl.com/a55ec http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/logging-log4net/src/Appender/SmtpAppender.cs?rev=1.9&view=markup   On a slightly unreleated note, here's a screen shot of log4net's SmtpAppender viewed from NLogViewer using nDumbster as a mock SmtpServer (thanks to Jarek for cleaning up my code):    http://www.ronosaurus.com/log4net/nlogviewer_ndumbster_log4net.png   That should be helpful in determining what a good bufferSize property of the SmtpAppender is so it doesn't queue up messages for days then suddenly attempt to send a giant 200mb email.   --- Usman Uppal <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:   > Ron, SMTP Appender works on my machine using our internal SMTP host > but > when I deploy my code on a hosted server (outside of our environment) > that is using different SMTP host, it does not work. > > Do we need to have Exchange CDO installed on the hosted server?
