SPUtility.SendEmail

November 7th, 2007 Anuraj P Leave a comment Go to comments

In my project I need to send mail to Administrator, while adding items to a list using Webpart. I have tried ASP.Net, System.Net namespace but I need to read all the server and mail settings from any config file. After I got sharepoint’s own mechanism to send mail.

SPUtility.SendEmail(SPContext.Current.Site.OpenWeb(), false, false, "admin@myserver.com", "Hello World", "This is a Sample Mail");

This will send a mail to “admin@myserver.com”, with “Hello World” as subject and “This is a Sample Mail” as body. You can send HTML emails by changing the third parameter to TRUE.

Update : You may need to use SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges method to send mails.

This method enable users to Execute the specified method with Full Control rights even if the user does not otherwise have Full Control.

    Hi Jain,

    Where you are using HTML tags? in message body? And how you come to know it is not working? I got the same issue, but it was the problem of the Outlook, try changing the mail display format.

    Hi anuraj!
    My problem is that the SPUtility.SendEmail returns false and I don’t know how I can check why it is not sending anything. I have also tried to send mail using System.NET.Mail, and it also fails.

    Any suggestions ?

    You should check SharePoint logs at information level to find out if there are messages that may lead you to source of your problem.
