Exchange, Outlook and SMTP programming with CDO

[Guest]

Hello All,

I am working on an service application to send an emails from exchange server.

I am using outlook 2003 and exchange server 2003 with c# as a language

I want to use the groups created in the exchange server to send the mail.

At present I am using the following code to send the emails

CDO.Message oMsg = new CDO.Message();
CDO.IConfiguration iConfg;
iConfg = oMsg.Configuration;
ADODB.Fields oFields;
oFields = iConfg.Fields;
ADODB.Field oField =
oFields["http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing"];
oField.Value = 2;
oFields.Update();
oField =
oFields["http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver"];
//Exchannge server
oField.Value = "xxx.xxx.com";
oFields.Update();

oField =
oFields["http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport"];
oField.Value = 25;
oFields.Update();

oField =
oFields["http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpaccountname"];
oField.Value = "(e-mail address removed)";
oFields.Update();

oField =
oFields["http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendemailaddress"];
oField.Value = "(e-mail address removed)";
oFields.Update();

oField =
oFields["http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpuserreplyemailaddress"];
oField.Value = "(e-mail address removed)";
oFields.Update();


oField =
oFields["http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername"];
//My domain and username
oField.Value = @"xxx\xxxx";
oFields.Update();

oField =
oFields["http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword"];
//my password
oField.Value = "xxxxx";
oFields.Update();

oMsg.TextBody = "Hello, how are you doing?";
oMsg.From = "(e-mail address removed)";
oMsg.To = "(e-mail address removed)";
oMsg.Send();

I am successful when I send a mail to email account.

But there is an error when I refer a group.

Another problem I am facing is I want to see the mail in sent mails of
microsoft outlook. Can it be done?

Its very urgent please let me know.

Sachin

Id you want the items to show up in Outlook you need to use the Outlook
object model or WebDAV, not CDO. The Outlook object model is not suited to
run in a service, so your only other option is to use WebDAV (CDO 1.21 is
not supported for use with .NET code).

I'd suggest posting in an Exchange group, since you won't end up using any
Outlook code at all.
