I'm using Sendgrid and try to sending these emails with C# language.
So, what i'm doing is configure the SMTP and API Keys in my apps, and boom, there goes the emails were sent.
The question is, How do I insert the Unsubscribe Preferences group in my X-SMTPAPI header?
FYI, unsubscribe preferences is where you can choose which group you want to unsubscribe instead of global unsubscribe.
I already checked these links:
https://sendgrid.com/docs/API_Reference/Web_API_v3/Suppression_Management/groups.html
https://sendgrid.com/docs/API_Reference/Web_API_v3/How_To_Use_The_Web_API_v3/requests.html
https://sendgrid.com/docs/API_Reference/SMTP_API/suppressions.html
I also checked the library C# on their github.
But none of these is made me clear.
I'm completely blind with JSON, GET, REQUEST, RESPONSE and such.
this is my C# code
public void Main()
{
string sSubject = Dts.Variables["vSubject"].Value.ToString();
string sBody = Dts.Variables["vBodyMessage"].Value.ToString();
int iPriority = 2;
if (SendMail(sSubject, sBody, iPriority))
{
Dts.TaskResult = (int)ScriptResults.Success;
}
else
{
//Fails the Task
Dts.TaskResult = (int)ScriptResults.Failure;
}
}
//THIS IS THE HEADER X-SMTPAPI, I DUNNO HOW TO USE IT :(
//I WANNA ADD MY GROUPS HERE
private static string XsmtpapiHeaderAsJson()
{
var header = new Header();
header.SetAsmGroupId(777);
//var uniqueArgs = new string[] { "Small", "Medium", "Large" };
//{
// "asm_groups_to_display": [1, 2, 3]
//};
//header.AddUniqueArgs({ "asm_groups_to_display": ['1', '2', '3']});
//var subs = new List<String> { "私はラーメンが大好き" };
//header.AddSubstitution("%tag%", subs);
//dynamic stuff = json
return header.JsonString();
}
public bool SendMail(string sSubject, string sMessage, int iPriority)
{
string xmstpapiJson = XsmtpapiHeaderAsJson();
try
{
string sEmailServer = Dts.Variables["sServer"].Value.ToString();
string sEmailPort = Dts.Variables["sPort"].Value.ToString();
string sEmailUser = Dts.Variables["sUser"].Value.ToString();
string sEmailPassword = Dts.Variables["sPassword"].Value.ToString();
string sEmailSendTo = Dts.Variables["sSendTo"].Value.ToString();
string sEmailSendToName = Dts.Variables["sSendToName"].Value.ToString();
//string sEmailSendCC = Dts.Variables["sSendCC"].Value.ToString();
string sEmailSendFrom = Dts.Variables["sFrom"].Value.ToString();
string sEmailSendFromName = Dts.Variables["sFromName"].Value.ToString();
SmtpClient smtpClient = new SmtpClient();
MailMessage message = new MailMessage();
MailAddress fromAddress = new MailAddress(sEmailSendFrom, sEmailSendFromName);
//You can have multiple emails separated by ;
string[] sEmailTo = Regex.Split(sEmailSendTo, ";");
//string[] sEmailCC = Regex.Split(sEmailSendCC, ";");
int sEmailServerSMTP = int.Parse(sEmailPort);
smtpClient.Host = sEmailServer;
smtpClient.Port = sEmailServerSMTP;
System.Net.NetworkCredential myCredentials =
new System.Net.NetworkCredential(sEmailUser, sEmailPassword);
smtpClient.Credentials = myCredentials;
message.From = fromAddress;
//MailAddress toAddress = new MailAddress(sEmailSendTo, sEmailSendToName);
//message.To.Add(toAddress);
if (sEmailTo != null)
{
for (int i = 0; i < sEmailTo.Length; ++i)
{
if (sEmailTo[i] != null && sEmailTo[i] != "")
{

message.To.Add(toAddress);
}
}
}
switch (iPriority)
{
case 1:
message.Priority = MailPriority.High;
break;
case 3:
message.Priority = MailPriority.Low;
break;
default:
message.Priority = MailPriority.Normal;
break;
}
//message.Headers.Add("X-SMTPAPI", xmstpapiJson);
//smtpClient.SendCompleted += SendCompletedCallback;
//const string state = "test1";
message.Subject = sSubject;
message.IsBodyHtml = true;
message.Body = sMessage;
//smtpClient.SendAsync(message, state);
smtpClient.Send(message);
return true;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
return false;
}
}
I see what you mean, the smtpapi-csharp project simply doesn't have that concept implemented.. but it's a trivial matter. (the value of this utility project is questionable to begin with).
Really the only piece of importance here is commented out.
//message.Headers.Add("X-SMTPAPI", xmstpapiJson);
Should be,
message.Headers.Add("X-SMTPAPI", #"{ ""asm_group_id"" : 777, ""asm_groups_to_display"" : [777] }");
Essentially, you're just assigning json to this header. The Documentation provides this sample
{
"asm_groups_to_display": [1, 2, 3]
}
[1, 2, 3] is an array of integers, which correlates to GroupIds.
Alternatively,
fork the git and add the following to Header.cs
/// <summary>
/// This sets which groups to display on the Manage Preferences page of an email. You can find further documentation about ASM here:
/// https://sendgrid.com/docs/API_Reference/SMTP_API/suppressions.html
/// </summary>
/// <param name="ids">ASM groups to display applied to the message</param>
public void SetAsmGroupsToDisplay(params int[] ids)
{
_settings.AddArray(new List<string> {"asm_groups_to_display"}, ids);
}
Build and update your csproj reference to use your forked project.
then, call SetAsmGroupsToDisplay like so,
private static string XsmtpapiHeaderAsJson()
{
var header = new Header();
header.SetAsmGroupId(777);
header.SetAsmGroupsToDisplay(777); // SetAsmGroupsToDisplay(new int[] {777}) works too
return header.JsonString();
}
and, of course, use the method:
message.Headers.Add("X-SMTPAPI", XsmtpapiHeaderAsJson());
... don't forgot to add a Pull Request when you get it working.
I have a system that sends emails with inline pictures. The problem is how Outlook 2013 displays the attachments. Can I update my code in a way that tells outlook not to display the paperclip icon seen here?
The idea is that I only want to display this icon when full sized pictures are attached. Not inline attachments.
Here's the code that generates the email. Create a basic console app, specify your To / mailserver / picture path, and run.
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Console.WriteLine("Prepping email message....");
var subject = "Test Subject With Inline";
var message = "<p>This is a test message.</p><br/><br/><p>[CompanyLogo]</p>";
var to = new List<string>();
to.Add("My.Name#company.com");
Console.WriteLine("Sending email message....");
if (SendMessageToFrom(subject, message, to, new List<string>()))
{
Console.WriteLine("Email sent! Check your inbox.");
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine("Error sending email!");
}
}
public static bool SendMessageToFrom(String subject, String message, List<String> to, List<String> cc)
{
try
{
// Construct the email
var sendMessage = new MailMessage()
{
IsBodyHtml = true,
From = new MailAddress("noreply#company.com"),
Subject = subject,
Body = message
};
if (sendMessage.Body.Contains("[CompanyLogo]"))
{
sendMessage.AlternateViews.Add(EmbedLogo(sendMessage.Body));
}
// Add the list of recipients
foreach (var recipient in to)
{
sendMessage.To.Add(recipient);
}
foreach (var recipient in cc)
{
sendMessage.CC.Add(recipient);
}
//Specify the SMTP server
var smtpServerName = "mailserver.company.com";
var mailClient = new SmtpClient(smtpServerName);
mailClient.Send(sendMessage);
return true;
}
catch
{
throw;
}
}
private static AlternateView EmbedLogo(string html)
{
var inline = new LinkedResource("img\\company-logo.jpg");
inline.ContentId = Guid.NewGuid().ToString();
html = html.Replace("[CompanyLogo]", string.Format(#"<img src='cid:{0}'/>", inline.ContentId));
var result = AlternateView.CreateAlternateViewFromString(html, null, System.Net.Mime.MediaTypeNames.Text.Html);
result.LinkedResources.Add(inline);
return result;
}
Update: Here's the code that did the trick:
private static MailMessage EmbedLogo(MailMessage mail)
{
var inline = new Attachment("img\\company-logo.jpg");
inline.ContentId = Guid.NewGuid().ToString();
inline.ContentDisposition.Inline = true;
inline.ContentDisposition.DispositionType = DispositionTypeNames.Inline;
mail.Body = mail.Body.Replace("[CompanyLogo]", string.Format(#"<img src='cid:{0}'/>", inline.ContentId));
mail.Attachments.Add(inline);
return mail;
}
And I also updated the main method to this:
if (sendMessage.Body.Contains("[CompanyLogo]"))
{
sendMessage = EmbedLogo(sendMessage);
}
Make sure your attachments have the Content-ID MIME header and the message's HTML body refers to them using the cid attribute : <img src="cid:xyz"> (where xyz is the value of the Content-ID MIME header).
I want to check that if i have input the right SenderEmail and MailPassword.What should I do?The code :
//邮箱地址//EmailAddress
string server = comboBox.Text;
string SenderMail = EmailName.Text.ToString().Trim()+server;
MessageBox.Show("邮箱地址为：" + SenderMail);
//邮箱密码//EmailPassword
string MailPassword = EmailPassword.Text.ToString().Trim();
//发送服务器//SenderServer
server = server.Substring(1);
string SendServer = "smtp."+server;
MessageBox.Show(SendServer);
//新建SMTP客户端实例//Create a SmtpClient
System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient client = new System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient(SendServer, 25);
client.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(SenderMail, MailPassword);
if (?????) { MessageBox.Show("Success!"); }
To check if the SenderEmail is correct you can use MailAddress class
try
{
new MailAddress(SenderEmail);
}
catch (FormatException ex)
{
//The email address is not correct
}
I have developed on Windows Application. Now i need to send an email (attachment feature included) by Web Service. How can i do that?
Also i need to notify the email before 'n' days. ('n' days is a feature controlled by user)
Let me know if any comment.
Thanks.

I need to send email via my C# app.
I come from a VB 6 background and had a lot of bad experiences with the MAPI control.
First of all, MAPI did not support HTML emails and second, all the emails were sent to my default mail outbox. So I still needed to click on send receive.
If I needed to send bulk html bodied emails (100 - 200), what would be the best way to do this in C#?
You could use the System.Net.Mail.MailMessage class of the .NET framework.
You can find the MSDN documentation here.
Here is a simple example (code snippet):
using System.Net;
using System.Net.Mail;
using System.Net.Mime;
...
try
{
SmtpClient mySmtpClient = new SmtpClient("my.smtp.exampleserver.net");
// set smtp-client with basicAuthentication
mySmtpClient.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
System.Net.NetworkCredential basicAuthenticationInfo = new
System.Net.NetworkCredential("username", "password");
mySmtpClient.Credentials = basicAuthenticationInfo;
// add from,to mailaddresses
MailAddress from = new MailAddress("test#example.com", "TestFromName");
MailAddress to = new MailAddress("test2#example.com", "TestToName");
MailMessage myMail = new System.Net.Mail.MailMessage(from, to);
// add ReplyTo
MailAddress replyTo = new MailAddress("reply#example.com");
myMail.ReplyToList.Add(replyTo);
// set subject and encoding
myMail.Subject = "Test message";
myMail.SubjectEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8;
// set body-message and encoding
myMail.Body = "<b>Test Mail</b><br>using <b>HTML</b>.";
myMail.BodyEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8;
// text or html
myMail.IsBodyHtml = true;
mySmtpClient.Send(myMail);
}
catch (SmtpException ex)
{
throw new ApplicationException
("SmtpException has occured: " + ex.Message);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
throw ex;
}
The best way to send bulk emails for more faster way is to use threads.I have written this console application for sending bulk emails.I have seperated the bulk email ID into two batches by creating two thread pools.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading;
using System.Net.Mail;
namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
public class SendMail
{
string[] NameArray = new string[10] { "Recipient 1",
"Recipient 2",
"Recipient 3",
"Recipient 4",
"Recipient 5",
"Recipient 6",
"Recipient 7",
"Recipient 8",
"Recipient 9",
"Recipient 10"
};
public SendMail(int i, ManualResetEvent doneEvent)
{
Console.WriteLine("Started sending mail process for {0} - ", NameArray[i].ToString() + " at " + System.DateTime.Now.ToString());
Console.WriteLine("");
SmtpClient mailClient = new SmtpClient();
mailClient.Host = Your host name;
mailClient.UseDefaultCredentials = true;
mailClient.Port = Your mail server port number; // try with default port no.25
MailMessage mailMessage = new MailMessage(FromAddress,ToAddress);//replace the address value
mailMessage.Subject = "Testing Bulk mail application";
mailMessage.Body = NameArray[i].ToString();
mailMessage.IsBodyHtml = true;
mailClient.Send(mailMessage);
Console.WriteLine("Mail Sent succesfully for {0} - ",NameArray[i].ToString() + " at " + System.DateTime.Now.ToString());
Console.WriteLine("");
_doneEvent = doneEvent;
}
public void ThreadPoolCallback(Object threadContext)
{
int threadIndex = (int)threadContext;
Console.WriteLine("Thread process completed for {0} ...",threadIndex.ToString() + "at" + System.DateTime.Now.ToString());
_doneEvent.Set();
}
private ManualResetEvent _doneEvent;
}
public class Program
{
static int TotalMailCount, Mailcount, AddCount, Counter, i, AssignI;
static void Main(string[] args)
{
TotalMailCount = 10;
Mailcount = TotalMailCount / 2;
AddCount = Mailcount;
InitiateThreads();
Thread.Sleep(100000);
}
static void InitiateThreads()
{
//One event is used for sending mails for each person email id as batch
ManualResetEvent[] doneEvents = new ManualResetEvent[Mailcount];
// Configure and launch threads using ThreadPool:
Console.WriteLine("Launching thread Pool tasks...");
for (i = AssignI; i < Mailcount; i++)
{
doneEvents[i] = new ManualResetEvent(false);
SendMail SRM_mail = new SendMail(i, doneEvents[i]);
ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem(SRM_mail.ThreadPoolCallback, i);
}
Thread.Sleep(10000);
// Wait for all threads in pool to calculation...
//try
//{
// // WaitHandle.WaitAll(doneEvents);
//}
//catch(Exception e)
//{
// Console.WriteLine(e.ToString());
//}
Console.WriteLine("All mails are sent in this thread pool.");
Counter = Counter+1;
Console.WriteLine("Please wait while we check for the next thread pool queue");
Thread.Sleep(5000);
CheckBatchMailProcess();
}
static void CheckBatchMailProcess()
{
if (Counter < 2)
{
Mailcount = Mailcount + AddCount;
AssignI = Mailcount - AddCount;
Console.WriteLine("Starting the Next thread Pool");
Thread.Sleep(5000);
InitiateThreads();
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine("No thread pools to start - exiting the batch mail application");
Thread.Sleep(1000);
Environment.Exit(0);
}
}
}
}
I have defined 10 recepients in the array list for a sample.It will create two batches of emails to create two thread pools to send mails.You can pick the details from your database also.
You can use this code by copying and pasting it in a console application.(Replacing the program.cs file).Then the application is ready to use.
I hope this helps you :).
Code:
using System.Net.Mail
new SmtpClient("smtp.server.com", 25).send("from#email.com",
"to#email.com",
"subject",
"body");
Mass Emails:
SMTP servers usually have a limit on the number of connection hat can handle at once, if you try to send hundreds of emails you application may appear unresponsive.
Solutions:
If you are building a WinForm then use a BackgroundWorker to process the queue.
If you are using IIS SMTP server or a SMTP server that has an outbox folder then you can use SmtpClient().PickupDirectoryLocation = "c:/smtp/outboxFolder"; This will keep your system responsive.
If you are not using a local SMTP server than you could build a system service to use Filewatcher to monitor a forlder than will then process any emails you drop in there.
The .NET framework has some built-in classes which allows you to send e-mail via your app.
You should take a look in the System.Net.Mail namespace, where you'll find the MailMessage and SmtpClient classes.
You can set the BodyFormat of the MailMessage class to MailFormat.Html.
It could also be helpfull if you make use of the AlternateViews property of the MailMessage class, so that you can provide a plain-text version of your mail, so that it can be read by clients that do not support HTML.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.mail.mailmessage.alternateviews.aspx
You can send email using SMTP or CDO
using SMTP:
mail.From = new MailAddress("your_email_address#gmail.com");
mail.To.Add("to_address");
mail.Subject = "Test Mail";
mail.Body = "This is for testing SMTP mail from GMAIL";
SmtpServer.Port = 587;
SmtpServer.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("username", "password");
SmtpServer.EnableSsl = true;
using CDO
CDO.Message oMsg = new CDO.Message();
CDO.IConfiguration iConfg;
iConfg = oMsg.Configuration;
ADODB.Fields oFields;
oFields = iConfg.Fields;
ADODB.Field oField = oFields["http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing"];
oFields.Update();
oMsg.Subject = "Test CDO";
oMsg.From = "from_address";
oMsg.To = "to_address";
oMsg.TextBody = "CDO Mail test";
oMsg.Send();

I can strongly recommend the aspNetEmail library: http://www.aspnetemail.com/
The System.Net.Mail will get you somewhere if your needs are only basic, but if you run into trouble, please check out aspNetEmail. It has saved me a bunch of time, and I know of other develoeprs who also swear by it!
Use the namespace System.Net.Mail. Here is a link to the MSDN page
You can send emails using SmtpClient class.
I paraphrased the code sample, so checkout MSDNfor details.
MailMessage message = new MailMessage(
"fromemail#contoso.com",
"toemail#contoso.com",
"Subject goes here",
"Body goes here");
SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient(server);
client.Send(message);
The best way to send many emails would be to put something like this in forloop and send away!
Take a look at the FluentEmail library.
I've blogged about it here
You have a nice and fluent api for your needs:
Email.FromDefault()
.To("you#domain.com")
.Subject("New order has arrived!")
.Body("The order details are…")
.Send();
Let's make something as a full solution :). Maybe it can help as well.
It is a solution for sending one email content and one attach file (or without attach) to many Email addresses. Of course sending just one email is possibility as well. Result is List object with data what is OK and what is not.

You can use Mailkit. MailKit is an Open Source cross-platform .NET mail-client library that is based on MimeKit and optimized for mobile devices.
It has more and advance features better than System.Net.Mail
A fully-cancellable Pop3Client with support for STLS, UIDL, APOP, PIPELINING, UTF8, and LANG. Client-side sorting and threading of
messages (the Ordinal Subject and the Jamie Zawinski threading
algorithms are supported).
Asynchronous versions of all methods that hit the network.
S/MIME, OpenPGP and DKIM signature support via MimeKit.
Microsoft TNEF support via MimeKit.
See this example you can send mail
MimeMessage mailMessage = new MimeMessage();
mailMessage.From.Add(new MailboxAddress(senderName, sender#address.com));
mailMessage.Sender = new MailboxAddress(senderName, sender#address.com);
mailMessage.To.Add(new MailboxAddress(emailid, emailid));
mailMessage.Subject = subject;
mailMessage.ReplyTo.Add(new MailboxAddress(replyToAddress));
mailMessage.Subject = subject;
var builder = new BodyBuilder();
builder.TextBody = "Hello There";
try
{
using (var smtpClient = new SmtpClient())
{
smtpClient.Connect("HostName", "Port", MailKit.Security.SecureSocketOptions.None);
smtpClient.Authenticate("user#name.com", "password");
smtpClient.Send(mailMessage);
Console.WriteLine("Success");
}
}
catch (SmtpCommandException ex)
{
Console.WriteLine(ex.ToString());
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine(ex.ToString());
}
