In the body of the send loop, did you include any delay? Normally postmasters will insist on only so many email messages per minute.

Use a call to System.Threading.Sleep(N) ion the body of the loop (where N is time in milli-seconds) to limit the rate of sending.

Hey hi,

this might sound silly but was just wondering in the batch of emails........do you have any fake email id's created by you or the user for testing purposes.......the only reason i am saying this is if you do happen to have a fake email id then your smtp server is trying to send to this email id until it reached timed out or undeliverable.......just wondering

one more approach is to try to catch the error..........here is a sample code

SmtpClient sClient = new SmtpClient();MailMessage msg = new MailMessage();

sClient.Host = "localhost";

sClient.Port = 25;

try

{

sClient.Send(msg);

}

catch (SmtpException ex)

{

if (ex.StatusCode == SmtpStatusCode.InsufficientStorage)

{

//Send again to ensure this email gets sent

sClient.Send(msg);

}

else

{

//Handle other SMTP errors here.

Response.Write("Error: " + ex.Message);

}

hope this helps

Thanks

A further point - which version of ASP.NET are you using?

Also in you error handling, ensure that you examine any inner exception.

print the every email receipients to a text file and you will know more. I think the variable is not cleaned before reuse.
