Sending Email with System.Net.Mail
|

| I switched from System.Web.Mail to System.Net.Mail, however I am now
reconsidering that move because if I send an email to an email address in the
form john.doe@yahoo.com, I receive an error message "The specified string is
not in the form required for an e-mail address". I have conducted further
testing and evidently the SmtpClient class Send method does not like the
period "." between the "john" and "doe". If I conduct a test with an email
address in the form jdoe@yahoo.com...everything works fine.
This is a showstopper for me... if I am using System.Net.Mail to inform
e-commerce customers of post-purchase activity. I can never predict when I
may encounter a non-conforming email address.
Does anyone know whether a fix is available to System.Net.Mail ???

| What is your syntax for providing the email address?
It's not the same syntax as it was in the older version

| The MailMessage format changed a bit :
Dim FromAddress As String = "someone@somewhere.com"
Dim ToAddress As String = "someone.else@somewhereelse.com"
Dim mail As New MailMessage(FromAddress, ToAddress)
