One of the most common tasks of any website application is the ability to send emails. Right from the start, the .NET Framework provided SmtpClient for exactly this task. But in recent years, this class simply doesn't work for me.
I can send emails. And I get no errors or exceptions. But either the emails are never sent, or they are only sent sometimes.
Looking into this, I've seen vague claims that SmtpClient is obsolete and that we should use MailKit instead. But has Microsoft made an official statement on this? Are they okay having an unreliable library in wide use? Or does SmtpClient still work but just not for me?
