My developer is building a custom module.  She created a feature that allows people to send the data that the module generated to an email recipient.  (sends the job description to an email recipient)  The email configuration is working on the install, so, it has to be something with the code.  Below is the code being used.  The email server does not require authentication and it's IP address is 10.0.0.43.  Is the below code correct?

Dim smtpServer As String = convert.ToString(_portalSettings.HostSettings("SMTPSERVER"))

           

Dim smtpAuthentication As String = Convert.ToString(_portalSettings.HostSettings("SMTPAuthentication"))

           

Dim smtpUserName As String = Convert.ToString(_portalSettings.HostSettings("SMTPUsername"))

           

Dim smtpUserPassword As String = Convert.ToString(_portalSettings.HostSettings("SMTPPassword"))

All you need to send email from your module.

In your codebehind...

'Set a few protected/public variables
Protected MsgSubject As String
Protected MsgBody As String
Public Attachment As String
Public SendMethod As String
Public SMTPServer As String = Convert.ToString(Common.Globals.HostSettings("SMTPServer"))
Public SMTPAuthentication As String = Convert.ToString(Common.Globals.HostSettings("SMTPAuthentication"))
Public SMTPUsername As String = Convert.ToString(Common.Globals.HostSettings("SMTPUsername"))
Public SMTPPassword As String = Convert.ToString(Common.Globals.HostSettings("SMTPPassword"))



'Create a subroutine to handle the mailing
        Private Sub SendEmail()
            Dim MsgText As String = ""

            MsgText += "<table width=625>"
            MsgText += "<tr>"
            MsgText += "<td>Email Body Text Goes Here...</td>"
            MsgText += "</tr>"
            MsgText += "</table>"

            'Email Routines
            Dim OpenEmailFormatting As String
            OpenEmailFormatting = ""
            OpenEmailFormatting += "<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC ""-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"">"
            OpenEmailFormatting += "<HTML><HEAD><TITLE></TITLE>"
            OpenEmailFormatting += "<META http-equiv=Content-Type content=""text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"">"
            OpenEmailFormatting += "</HEAD><BODY>"

            Dim CloseEmailFormatting As String
            CloseEmailFormatting = "</BODY></HTML>"

            'TO
            MsgSubject = "Message Subject Goes Here..."
            MsgBody = OpenEmailFormatting & MsgText & CloseEmailFormatting

            Services.Mail.Mail.SendMail(UserInfo.Email, UserInfo.Email, "", "", Services.Mail.MailPriority.Normal, MsgSubject, Services.Mail.MailFormat.Html, System.Text.Encoding.UTF8, MsgBody, "", SMTPServer, SMTPAuthentication, SMTPUsername, SMTPPassword)
        End Sub


All that's left is to actually call it.  Where ever the event is that you want to fire the message (eg: onclick for a button) just call SendEmail().

Of course, you can do all kinds of message customization before or during the msgText portion so the message is personalized, context aware, etc.
