email queueing with c#

Question

not sure it is possible but I am looking for a solution that will queue email messages.

Is there any way to write some sort of web app that will run and send certain amounts of emails to email server for delivery even after I submit my message and close webpage. May be some sort of daemon?

Answer 1

A local email server will do exactly that. Once you setup a local email relay server (make sure it will only accept email from the localhost), then just sent email to it and let it handle actually delivering the email.

It will be tons more reliable and configurable than anything you could write. Depending on the platform, you should be able to tune rates of delivery and any other parameters you'd like.
