Can i track the email is sent or not in c# ?

I'm using smtp to send the email, if the receiver email address is wrong then the email is not send and no any exception found.

So anyone help me to find out the email was sent or not.?

My current code is like below

public static void MailSend()
{
MailAddress from = new MailAddress("[email protected]");
MailAddress to = new MailAddress("[email protected]");
MailMessage message = new MailMessage(from, to);
// message.Subject = "Using the SmtpClient class.";
message.Subject = "Using the SmtpClient class.";
message.Body = @"Using this feature, you can send an e-mail message from an application very easily.";
SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com",587);
client.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("[email protected]", "kd");
client.EnableSsl = true;
Console.WriteLine("Sending an e-mail message to {0} using the SMTP host {1}.",to.Address, client.Host);
try
{
client.Send(message);
}
catch (SmtpFailedRecipientsException ex)
{
for (int i = 0; i < ex.InnerExceptions.Length; i++)
{
SmtpStatusCode status = ex.InnerExceptions[i].StatusCode;
if (status == SmtpStatusCode.MailboxBusy ||
status == SmtpStatusCode.MailboxUnavailable)
{
Console.WriteLine("Delivery failed - retrying in 5 seconds.");
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(5000);
client.Send(message);
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine("Failed to deliver message to {0}",
ex.InnerExceptions[i].FailedRecipient);
}
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine("Exception caught in RetryIfBusy(): {0}",
ex.ToString());
}
}
private static void SendCompletedCallback(object sender, AsyncCompletedEventArgs e)
{
// Get the unique identifier for this asynchronous operation.
String token = (string)e.UserState;
if (e.Cancelled)
{
Console.WriteLine("[{0}] Send canceled.", token);
}
if (e.Error != null)
{
Console.WriteLine("[{0}] {1}", token, e.Error.ToString());
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine("Message sent.");
}
}

Hi.
SmtpClient.Send() return type is void.
So if the mail sent then it will not raise any exception otherwise will raise an Exception if there's a problem sending.
So the only way of checking is by usig try catch block, which you are already using.
If it helps mark as answer.
Thanks.
