  You have to import System.Net.Mail. Also, it's DeliveryNotificationOptions, not DeliveryNotification.

  So is this correct? 

   Dim SmtpClient As New System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient

  Dim mailMessage As New MailMessage

  SmtpClient.Host = "100.404.0.30"

  SmtpClient.Port = 21

  SmtpClient.Send("from@test.com", to@test.com, "Attn: sample title", "Body")

  mailMessage.DeliveryNotificationOptions = DeliveryNotificationOptions.OnFailure

  What message will it send, if it fails to be delivered?

  You should be using the MailMessage object to compose the message and then send it using SmtpClient.Send(MailMessage). Per MSDN:

  	Member name	Description
  	Delay	Notify if the delivery is delayed
  	Never	Never notify.
  	None	No notification.
  	OnFailure	Notify if the delivery is unsuccessful.
  	OnSuccess	Notify if the delivery is successful.

  Hi there

  Im having a problem and hoping that you would be able to help me. Im wanting to send email using system.net.mail but I need to be able to have any bounced emails sent to a central address

  I initially thought that i just needed to add

  MyEmailMessage.Headers.Add("Return-Path", ReturnAddresses@domain.com)

  but this doesnt seem to be working as the bounce emails are not being sent to the ReturnAddresses@domain.com

  It actually sent the bounced email to the email in the MyEmailMessage.To but I need it sending to ReturnAddresses@domain.com

   Any help appreciated

  Have you modified your code as I've suggested? What does it look like now?

  As suggested on the previous page, see the DeliveryNotificationOptions enum.

  Sorry that was a bit abstract

   here is the code I used:

  Dim MyEmailClient As New SmtpClient
          MyEmailClient.Host = "111.111.111.111"   ' This is my Set to my IP Address
  
  
          Dim MyEmailMessage As New MailMessage()
          MyEmailMessage.From = New System.Net.Mail.MailAddress("SomeSentFromAddress@MyDomain.com")
          MyEmailMessage.To.Add(New System.Net.Mail.MailAddress("SomeFakeAddress@MyDomain.com"))
          MyEmailMessage.Subject = "Some Subject"
          MyEmailMessage.Body = "Some Body Text"
          MyEmailMessage.Priority = MailPriority.Normal
          MyEmailMessage.Headers.Add("Return-Path", "BounceBack@MyDomain.com")
          MyEmailClient.Send(MyEmailMessage)

   I can't find a good example of DeliveryNotificationOptions functionaily.

  I basicly want the bounceback email to be sent to an email of my choosing.

   

  Thanks

  Here's one example using your code:

  MyEmailMessage.DeliveryNotificationOptions = DeliveryNotificationOptions.OnFailure
