Finding the MX Record using C#?
You can use the answer of Robert and RPK to get the MX record of a given domain.
But you'll need a DNS server to do the job. If you want to detect the DNS server of the machine where your code is executed, you can use the following.
NetworkInterface[] adapters = NetworkInterface.GetAllNetworkInterfaces();
foreach (NetworkInterface adapter in adapters)
{
IPInterfaceProperties properties = adapter.GetIPProperties();
if (properties.DnsAddresses.Count > 0)
foreach (IPAddress ipAddress in properties.DnsAddresses)
dnsServers.Add(ipAddress.ToString(), 53);
}
There is a complete solution (or at github here) that will do the whole job if you don't want to rewrite everything. Look for GetMxRecords
static method.
Take a look at this DNS resolver project on codeproject.com. The library has a Resolver class that contains a method named Query which can be used to go after the MX record.
