Remarks

To receive notification when the email has been sent or the operation has been canceled, add an event handler to the SendCompleted event. You can cancel a SendAsync operation by calling the SendAsyncCancel method.

After calling SendAsync, you must wait for the email transmission to complete before attempting to send another email message using Send or SendAsync.

Before calling this method, the Host and Port must be set through the configuration files by setting the relevant properties, or by passing this information into the SmtpClient(String, Int32) constructor.

If the SMTP host requires credentials, you must set them before calling this method. To specify credentials, use the UseDefaultCredentials or Credentials properties.

If you receive an SmtpException exception, check the StatusCode property to find the reason the operation failed. The SmtpException can also contain an inner exception that indicates the reason the operation failed.

When sending email using SendAsync to multiple recipients, if the SMTP server accepts some recipients as valid and rejects others, a SmtpException is thrown with a NullReferenceException for the inner exception. If this occurs, SendAsync fails to send email to any of the recipients.

Your application can detect a server certificate validation error by examining the Error property passed into the SendCompletedEventHandler delegate.

The Timeout property does not have any effect on a SendAsync call.

To send mail and block while it is transmitted to the SMTP server, use one of the Send methods.
