Hi,

Is there any special thing to do to send emails through Microsoft Exchange Server? Is it like a usual SMTP connection?

In my application there is a tool for send emails, but one of my users is complaining that he cannot send emails through Exchange, possibly it's integrated in Active Directory.

Kind regards

I think SMTPClient in System.Net.Mail should be able to send email through Microsoft exchange server. But I don't have exchange server so I can't test it

Following link is another way to send email

yes, or if your user logs onto a domain everday/part of domain.
dim domainname as string = System.Environment.UserDomainName
dim myusername as string = System.Environment.UserName

You will only need to send the login details to the server if you are not logged in on domain. or unless the server is configured for trusted ip's to authticate first before sending. usaully not the case, as long as your user is on your network he.she can send mail with your app.

Thanks!
One thing that I forgot to say: In the application you configure a separate user account that is gonna send the emails... so maybe it's an authentication problem. Build the credentials for Active Directory would be User="domain\user" Password="thepassword", right?

Cheers.
