An SMTP Component by Component Designs

Our SMTP story:
Why build an SMTP component for .NET when others already exist? We thought the same thing, then one day we upgraded our mail server which required the use of a non-standard port for sending emails from our local office and with the upgrade we decided to allow SMTP Authentication when we're out of the office. While both of the email options above are normal for many businesses we ran into an issue while updating our internal applications. System.Web.Mail namespace in the .NET Framework doesn't support either a non-standard port or SMTP Authentication. Off to the Internet to purchase a component. To our surprise we found very few that met our needs and the ones that did were $400+ dollars. That sure did seem like a lot of money for a few internal applications used to send emails.

After a brief meeting it was determined there is a space for a full featured SMTP component that doesn't break the bank. Give our ezSMTP component a try, we use it here and we are sure it will meet your needs as well.

.NET Framework includes the System.Web.Mail namespace which in turn calls the underlying CDONTS COM API. The issues with System.Web.Mail are CDONTS is unmanaged code, CDONTS doesn't allow you to change the Port number of your mail server and CDONTS doesn't support SMTP Authentication.

ezSMTP .NET allows you to easily get around all of these issues.
