Answer 1

The .NET mail API sends emails via SMTP. The ASP.NET Web API allows you to host a REST interface.

You said you know how to program with both, so do that.

Create your Web API method which receives the necessary arguments, exactly like you would for a normal method that will do your emailing duties for you. Then create your route to the method.

If you have issues with either not working, then write tests.

    # Call this function in your WebApi controller #
=========================================================
        private void sendEmailViaWebApi()
        {
            string subject = "Email Subject";
            string body = "Email body";
            string FromMail = "[email protected]";
            string emailTo = "[email protected]";
            MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();
            SmtpClient SmtpServer = new SmtpClient("mail.reckonbits.com.pk");
            mail.From = new MailAddress(FromMail);
            mail.To.Add(emailTo);
            mail.Subject = subject;
            mail.Body = body;
            SmtpServer.Port = 25; 
            SmtpServer.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("[email protected]", "your password");
            SmtpServer.EnableSsl = false;
            SmtpServer.Send(mail);
        }
