sending mail with a name as sender

[yaniv]

i use this code to send e mail:

 

Sub Mailshot(ByVal adress As String, ByVal subject As String, ByVal body As String)
       Dim msgmail As MailMessage = New MailMessage()

       SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "smtp.012.net.il"
       msgmail.From = "shoresh@shoresh.org.il"

       Try
           msgmail.To = adress
           msgmail.Body = body
           msgmail.Subject = subject
           msgmail.BodyFormat = MailFormat.Html
           SmtpMail.Send(msgmail)
       Catch exc As Exception
           'DO WHATEVER ERROR HANDLING
       End Try
       msgmail = Nothing
   End Sub

 

the problem is that my users get my e mail address in the sender field.

 

i do want them to get my site name. but when i change the msgmail.from to my name, my smtp server wont send it.

 

do you have a way to keep a valid e mail as "from" and my name as "fromname"?

I think its "<My Name> me@yahoo.com" or the other way around.

It's the other way around: "Name <user@host.tld>".

[kahlua001]

Yea, its the Other Other way around.

It did worked. thanks.

I bet they could do .NET more uncomplicated. I mean, I tried a lot of things, and didn't think about that one.

Yeh but its still a development language and as soon as you start doing things 'uncomplicated', what that means is that you are putting contraints on people. Otherwise you end up with a language that you can't do anything with and you'll get the same complaints here that .net is too specific.
