MVC Contact Form with Email
Sending an email will take time. It should be a thread. Put your code in a function. And make the following changes:
public void SendEmail(string toAddress, string fromAddress,
string subject, string message)
{
try
{
using (var mail = new MailMessage())
{
const string email = "[email protected]";
const string password = "password!";
var loginInfo = new NetworkCredential(email, password);
mail.From = new MailAddress(fromAddress);
mail.To.Add(new MailAddress(toAddress));
mail.Subject = subject;
mail.Body = message;
mail.IsBodyHtml = true;
try
{
using (var smtpClient = new SmtpClient(
"smtp.mail.yahoo.com", 465))
{
smtpClient.EnableSsl = true;
smtpClient.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
smtpClient.Credentials = loginInfo;
smtpClient.Send(mail);
}
}
finally
{
//dispose the client
mail.Dispose();
}
}
}
catch (SmtpFailedRecipientsException ex)
{
foreach (SmtpFailedRecipientException t in ex.InnerExceptions)
{
var status = t.StatusCode;
if (status == SmtpStatusCode.MailboxBusy ||
status == SmtpStatusCode.MailboxUnavailable)
{
Response.Write("Delivery failed - retrying in 5 seconds.");
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(5000);
//resend
//smtpClient.Send(message);
}
else
{
Response.Write("Failed to deliver message to {0}",
t.FailedRecipient);
}
}
}
catch (SmtpException Se)
{
// handle exception here
Response.Write(Se.ToString());
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Response.Write(ex.ToString());
}
}
Call that function in your controller:
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Contact(MailModels e)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
//prepare email
var toAddress = "[email protected]";
var fromAddress = e.Email.ToString();
var subject = "Test enquiry from "+ e.Name;
var message = new StringBuilder();
message.Append("Name: " + e.Name + "\n");
message.Append("Email: " + e.Email + "\n");
message.Append("Telephone: " + e.Telephone + "\n\n");
message.Append(e.Message);
//start email Thread
var tEmail = new Thread(() =>
SendEmail(toAddress, fromAddress, subject, message));
tEmail.Start();
}
return View();
}
If you dont get email, check your spam folder
