I am new to asp.net 2 and am struggling with emailing to a list of
addresses

I can send emails OK using:

Dim MailObj As New System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient
MailObj.Send(EmFrom.Text, EmTo.Text, EmSubj.Text, EmMsg.Text)

but I seem to be unable to detect if an email fails to send ie if the
address has a typo or the address is not able to receive an email

in php I might write something like:

if (mail($to, $subject, $body)) { echo("<p>Message successfully
sent!</p>"); } else { echo("<p>Message delivery failed...</p>"); }

so is thier an equivalent structure in asp.net 2

Thanks

jaez

all you have to do is you try/catch

try
Dim MailObj As New System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient
MailObj.Send(EmFrom.Text, EmTo.Text, EmSubj.Text, EmMsg.Text)
Catch ex as Exception
response.write("<p>Message delivery failed...</p>")
response.flush()
End Catch

and please... dont mention PHP! that it's not even a programing language !
it's a scripting language live Javascript is...
