Is there a standard way to send an email from within a custom module?  I'm creating a custom module and I need to be able to send an email notifying either an admin or a user of an event on the site.  I have added settings to the module to provide me with an email address for the admin and I intend on using the email associated with the user for the second email.  I have also added settings for the basic email content and the rest of the content will be programmatically added to the body of the email.  The question is whether I use standard .NET methods for sending out the email or whether I should use a DNN standard of some sort to do so.

The DotNetNuke API provides a number of shared SendMail methods for sending email in the DotNetNuke.Services.Mail.Mail class. The advantage of using these is that they can make use of the SMTP server information defined in Host Settings.

As there are a large number of overloads of the Mail.SendMail method I would suggest taking a look at the API source code to best determine which method is most appropriate. The Mail class code is found in the source file Library\Services\Mail\Mail.vb.

You may also want to take a look at the source code for a number of "core" modules which make use of these methods - Feedback, Form and List, Events, Blog to name a few.
