So anyone helps me to find out the email was sent or not.?

As titled, is it possible to get Email Address from SMTP server by User name and password?
The reason I want to do this is because I know some smtp server supports open relay and some don't, for that reason, I see no meaning to provide the Sender and From email address.
But in the SmtpClient class it requires a Sender and From Email email address.
Instead I want to do it by getting the actual Email Address which is the User name associated to in the SMTP server.
Is it possible to do this?
On contact us page fields are name, email address and message.
That details send to specified mail address with entered mail address in the form.
Is it possible with gmail smtp details.
smtp details as below
Host: smtp.gmail.com
Username: *****#gmail.com
Password: ********
Port: 25
Gmail doesn't allow you to change the FROM to something different than your gmail account.
It doesn't matter what you use, they over-write it, before they relay it on. This prevent spamming/spoofing.
i am trying to send email from c# windows application and i need SMTP Server Address to send email but i don't know about SMTP Server Address, what is SMTP Server Address, how to get SMTP Server Address and how to use it.
this is the code:
System.Web.Mail.MailMessage message=new System.Web.Mail.MailMessage();
message.From="from e-mail";
message.To="to e-mail";
message.Subject="Message Subject";
message.Body="Message Body";
System.Web.Mail.SmtpMail.SmtpServer="SMTP Server Address";
System.Web.Mail.SmtpMail.Send(message);
What Mail Server are you trying to use??? usually you can just google SMTP or POP3 or whatever protocal your looking for and it will give you the port, server and all the extra information you need to connect to it.
For example:
http://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=13287
First, the System.Web.Mail namespace utilities are marked as 'obsolete' and should not be used. Instead, you should use System.Net. In that namespace there is a 'MailMessage' and an 'SmtpClient' class that will do the job you are trying to do.
Next, an SMTP server is a process that runs on a computer, which, when connected to the inetrnet, can listen for, and respond to, incoming requests which use a particular protocol on a particular port. You can think of an SMTP server as the machine at the post office that sorts and routes the mail to the appropriate mailbox..
An SMTP server has an address, just like everything else on the internet that needs to communicate with anything else. The address is used to send your mail message to the right machine, on the right communication channel. you could think of it as its phone number, and your mail message a text that will be sent to it.
Next, the address you are looking for, last time I checked, was: smtp.gmail.com.
So, considering that you need to stop using System.Web.Mail, and considering that your address may be smtp.gmail.com, here is what your code should look like:
// setup mail message
MailMessage message = new MailMessage();
message.From = new MailAddress("from e-mail");
message.To.Add(new MailAddress("to e-mail"));
message.Subject = "Message Subject";
message.Body = "Message Body";
// setup mail client
SmtpClient mailClient = new SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com");
mailClient.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("youraccount#gmail.com", "yourGmailPassword");
// send message
mailClient.Send(message);
Also, here is a decent looking article on using gmail as your smtp server:
How to use Gmail as your SMTP server
Also, if gmail does not work for you, you can use the smtp server of your internet provider. They will usually have their smtp address lurking on their website somewhere to be helpful to customers who want to setup their email program. You can also look in Outlook under account settings if you cannot find it somewhere else, if you use anything besides gmail, you should find one there.
Lastly, keep in mind, email cannot be sent without using an smtp server which is willing to receive and dispatch your maill message. In general this is something like gmail, or the smtp server of your internet provider, and the address will normally be: smtp.providername.com. However, gmail, for example, requires your account credentials for the smtp server to allow your message to be received and dispatched.
I am working in C# Email Sending.
I have no problems sending programmatic emails via SMTP using the normal e-mail address like 'myemail#exchange.com'.
But as per Company Policy, whenever they send e-mails outside the network, they add a postfix on the e-add like "myemail#exchange.com#yodachi".
So when I tried sending using that e-add format I get the error: The specified string is not in the form required for an e-mail address.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Note: I am using SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network since we are using SMTP thru company network.
Thanks,
Al
Edit: I've found out that the policy I am talking about is Lotus Domino Roaming. The postfix serves as a request on the Main Server to transfer a outgoing mail.
I have used the following code to send mail from my web application using a gmail account. My question is, can i change the sender address to another address other than original sender(gmail) address?
My code is as follows:
System.Net.Mail.MailMessage mail = new System.Net.Mail.MailMessage();
System.Net.NetworkCredential cred = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("sample#gmail.com", "*******");
Whatever i do is useless as i always receive mail from sample#gmail.com. Is it possible to change it?
I have changed to
mail.From = new System.Net.Mail.MailAddress("sample#yahoo.com"); but i received the mail with the from address sample#gmail.com and not from the new "From" address. I think gmail smtp overwrites the from address with the original credential.
This is the solution:
use the codes above to set mail.From = new MailAddress(address, display name)
in Gmail, go to Mail Settings >> Accounts and Import.
Add the email account you will use as sender in "Send Mail As". (tick as Alias)
This works for me

Yes just use the From property of the MailMessage
eg.
mail.From = "newemail#email.com";

Sending email in .NET through Gmail
EDIT: Although this works for mail in general, it appears this won't work for gmail as google overwrite it before its sent (see #Dave wanta's answer)
If you have a limited number of senders you can do as #philip suggested. For instance you may have customerservice#example.com, simon#example.com and philip#example.com or even alias#example.com. As long as they are approved senders on the actual gmail.com website you can send from them.
Gmail.com : Sending mail from a different address
If you are expecting to send from an arbitrary user (such as a customer service form on a website where the user enters their email and you don't want them emailing you directly) about the best you can do is this :
msg.ReplyToList.Add(new System.Net.Mail.MailAddress(email, friendlyName));
If you're in a controlled environment this works great, but please note that I've seen some email clients send to the from address even when reply-to is specified (I don't know which).
