Example

[C#] To get the full samples of EASendMail, please refer to Samples section. 

[C#]
using EASendMail;
public void Send()
{
    try
    {
        SmtpServer [] servers = DnsQueryEx.QueryServers( "to@adminsystem.com" );
        //query MX record (smtp server address) for to@adminsystem.com
        //try to send email with every smtp server queryed until the email was sent.
        for( int i = 0; i < servers.Length; i++ )
        {
            SmtpServer oServer = servers[i];
            SmtpClient oSmtp = new SmtpClient();
            SmtpMail oMail = new SmtpMail("TryIt");
            oMail.From = new MailAddress( "from@adminsystem.com" );
            oMail.To.Add(new MailAddress("to@adminsystem.com"));
            oMail.Subject = "test subject";

                oSmtp.SendMail( oServer, oMail );
                //succeeded, break.
