Chapter 26. The System.Web.Mail Namespace
The System.Web.Mail namespace allows you to send
email messages from your ASP.NET application. This capability uses the built-in
SMTP service included with IIS, and is similar to the CDO component used
in traditional ASP development. The SMTP service maps its Inbox and Outbox to
directories on the server. Message transfer is handled so that the
Outbox is always empty and the Inbox never has an incoming queue.
Messages and attachments are encapsulated in MailMessage and MailAttachment objects and sent using the SmtpMail helper class, which provides a
single Send()
method.
Figure 26-1 shows the
types in this namespace.
