Send email using ASP.NET MVC

Question

How do I send email using ASP.NET MVC? Do you have an option to send without specifying SMTP similar to mail() of PHP?

Answer 1

Yes. For example, the Sendgrid. I set up a Helper for him like this:

public static class SendGridHelper
{
    public static async Task EnviarEmail(String assunto, String mensagemHtml, String mensagemText)
    {
        // Cria o objeto de e-mail
        var myMessage = new SendGridMessage();

        // Remetente
        myMessage.From = new MailAddress("[email protected]");

        List<String> recipients = new List<String>
            {
                @"Cigano Morrison Mendez <[email protected]>"
            };

        myMessage.AddTo(recipients);
        myMessage.Subject = assunto;

        myMessage.Html = mensagemHtml;
        myMessage.Text = mensagemText;

        // Você pode mandar por credenciais...
        // var username = "usuario";
        // var pswd = "senha";
        // var credentials = new NetworkCredential(username, pswd);
        //var transportWeb = new Web(credentials);

        // ...ou por chave de API
        var transportWeb = new Web("MinhaChaveDeApi");

        // Finalmente, envia.
        await transportWeb.DeliverAsync(myMessage);
    }
}

O Sendgrid is free for up to 12 thousand emails. Has management panel and is quite resilient to spam.

One way that I find interesting is this:

public bool Mail(MailAddress to, MailAddress from, string sub, string body) {
    var me = new EmailBusiness();
    var m = new MailMessage() {
        Subject = sub,
        Body = body,
        IsBodyHtml = true
    };
    to = new MailAddress("endereç[email protected]", "Nome");
    m.To.Add(to);
    m.From = new MailAddress(from.ToString());
    m.Sender = to;
    var smtp = new SmtpClient {
        Host = "url.do.servidor",
        Port = 587,
        Credentials = new NetworkCredential("usuario", "senha"),
        EnableSsl = true
    };
    try {
        smtp.Send(m);
    } catch (Exception e) { //não faça isto, por favor, é só um exemplo
        return false
    }
    return true;
}

I put in the Github for future reference.

I found her in response in the OS and adapted. There is more information if you want to include in an ASP.NET MVC application. But I understand that the focus of the question is sending itself and not ASP.NET MVC. Obviously it can be improved.

The question and the other answer on the same page has a slightly different shape.

Note that the mail() PHP uses an SMTP server. There is no sending without one. Unless you write a code or take a library that is an SMTP server. In general this is not a good idea.
