CouldNotCreateMail with attachment

[cylorijin]

Hi! I have the following code. When i add the attachment the mail can not be created. Windows 10 UWP. With EASendMailRT it works.

        using (SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient("smtp.host.com", 465, true, "[email protected]", "123"))
        {
            var emailMessage = new EmailMessage();

            emailMessage.To.Add(new EmailRecipient("[email protected]"));
            emailMessage.Subject = "A new email has arrived";
            emailMessage.Body = "Export File";

            Windows.Storage.StorageFolder storageFolder = Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder;
            Windows.Storage.StorageFile attachmentFile = await storageFolder.GetFileAsync("export.txt");

            if (attachmentFile != null)
            {

                var stream = RandomAccessStreamReference.CreateFromFile(attachmentFile);

                emailMessage.Attachments.Add(new EmailAttachment(attachmentFile.Name, stream));

                SmtpResult ex = await client.SendMailAsync(emailMessage);

                var messageDialog = new MessageDialog("Email Code: " + ex.ToString());

                await messageDialog.ShowAsync();
            }
        }

Hello and thank you for creating the ticket. Could you please provide me with the following information:

1. What is the SmtpResult code?
2. What is the size of the attachment?

Hi! Thanks four your response. The SmtpResult is "CouldNotCreateMail" and the file size is 16KB.

Hi, any updates about this issue?. I am having same problem.

I have not been able to reproduce. I assume the mail server could block potential attachments.

Hi again. In my case I am using 1and1 smtp server (smtp.1and1.es). It was responding 501 syntax error - line too long after I send message section:

SmtpResponse repsonseMessage = await Socket.Send(await BuildSmtpMailInput(message));

I notice it was because fileEncoded was very long to 1and1 smtp restriction. So I modifyed BuildSmtpMailInput method

                string fileEncoded = await _encodeToBase64(attachment.Data);
                List<string> splitData = new List<string>(Regex.Split(fileEncoded, @"(?<=\G.{100})", RegexOptions.Singleline));
                string splitFile = "";
                foreach (var s in splitData)
                {
                    splitFile += s + Environment.NewLine;
                }
                mailInput.Append(Environment.NewLine);
                mailInput.Append(splitFile);
                mailInput.Append(Environment.NewLine);

It worked for me.
