I have the following code:

Code:

MailBee.SmtpMail.Smtp.LicenseKey = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["MailBee.SmtpMail.Smtp.LicenseKey"];

Smtp mailer = new Smtp();

mailer.DnsServers.Autodetect();

Console.WriteLine(mailer.DirectSendDefaults.HelloDomain.ToString()); // This is empty

Console.WriteLine(mailer.DirectSendDefaults.SmtpOptions.ToString()); // Displays Default

Console.ReadLine();

The documentation says that it will use the local host name or the local IP address of the machine. Why is this returning an empty string?

The title of the post should have been "HelloDomain not populated", but I can't edit posts.

MailBee checks that if this name is empty, it autodetects what to use for that name. But the property will still read empty value.

Here's how MailBee autodetects it

Code:

// If HelloDomain not specified, use local host name

// but try to get local IP address if possible.

domain = Dns.GetHostName();

IPHostEntry host = Dns.Resolve(domain);

foreach (IPAddress ip in host.AddressList)

{

     if (ip.AddressFamily == AddressFamily.InterNetwork)

     {

          domain = "[" + ip.ToString() + "]";

          break;

     }

}

Regards,
Alex
