  Hi,

  I am building a new website for my company. At the moment we are using static website and I would like to convert it all to ASP.NET.

  I have designed a nice bootstrap form, however I am having trouble with the contact us form.

  In my old website I userd asp and the following object:

  Set Mail = Server.CreateObject("Persits.MailSender")

  I tried implementing the following code:

  https://www.codeproject.com/Tips/371417/Send-Mail-Contact-Form-using-ASP-NET-and-Csharp

  However, I don't want to use a real 'from' email like this:

   var smtp = new System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient();
      {
          smtp.Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
          smtp.Port = 587;
          smtp.EnableSsl = true;
          smtp.DeliveryMethod = System.Net.Mail.SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;
          smtp.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(fromAddress, fromPassword);
          smtp.Timeout = 20000;
      }

  I just want to use the mail address that the viewer filled in the form, just I like I do now:

  Mail.port = "25"
  Mail.From = Request("email") ' From address
  Mail.FromName = Request("first_name") & Request("last_name")' From Name

  Is there a way to use the asp Persits.MailSender object with .net? Or maybe is there another simple solution?

  Thanks

  Hi anooshiravan

  In Following article I will explain how to send email using Gmail SMTP Server in ASP.Net. To send email with Gmail SMTP Server, you will need to use an email address and password of a valid Gmail account and along with that you will need the Gmail SMTP Mail Server settings.

  Hi,

  And the old site was using Gmail as well ????

  AFAIK it won't work. Technically speaking the mail is sent from the gmail account using your own mail account and GMail overrides "From" so that you can't forge mail that seems to originate directly from any address you want...

  Using could perhaps work: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.net.mail.mailmessage.replytolist?view=netframework-4.8

  It is an additional info that can be used when a mail comes from an address but when the response should be sended back to some other mail address.

  Edit: it's really a form with multiple fields? If you have just a body input field you could also use https://www.rapidtables.com/web/html/mailto.html (if public it's common to use js to prevent spammers to collect your mail address straight from the html markup).
