Hi gurus,
I need some advises/suggestion.

We are using the following command to send email from the client. Its pretty
simple

Dim MailMessage As New System.Net.Mail.MailMessage(strFrom, strTo)
MailMessage..
MailMessage..

Dim client As New System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient("host")
client.Send(MailMessage)

It works on most of the systems.
But some systems it got blocked by ISP, so system is not able to send
emails.
We are planning to change the process and use web service to send e-mail.

My question is, is it good idea to overcome this problem. Or there is any
other way to send email using SMTP.
Please advise me.

Thanks, Steve

Are you sending just one email or a batch of them?

If you're sending many at once you may be being blocked by a worm/spam/denial of
service stopper.

Good luck with your project,
