Methods
  NameDescription
Public methodAdd(String)
Adds a top (0) priority SMTP relay server under the specified host name (or IP address string) to the collection and sorts the collection according to the elements priorities.
Public methodAdd(SmtpServer)
Adds an SmtpServer to the collection and sorts the collection according to the elements priorities.
Public methodAdd(String, Int32, Int32)
Initializes a new instance of the SmtpServer class with the given host name (or IP address string), port number and priority value, adds this instance into the collection, and sorts the collection according to the elements priorities.
Public methodAdd(String, String, String)
Adds a top (0) priority SMTP relay server under the specified host name (or IP address string) to the collection, enables ESMTP authentication for this server, and sorts the collection according to the elements priorities.
Public methodAdd(String, String, String, AuthenticationMethods)
Adds a top (0) priority SMTP relay server under the specified host name (or IP address string) to the collection, enables ESMTP authentication for this server using the specified methods, and sorts the collection according to the elements priorities.
Public methodAdd(String, Int32, Int32, Int32, Boolean, AuthenticationMethods, String, String, Boolean, String, ExtendedSmtpOptions)
Initializes a new instance of the SmtpServer class with the given parameter values, adds this instance to the collection, and sorts the collection according to the elements priorities.

Remarks

When SmtpServers collection is populated with at least one SMTP relay server of the same or higher priority than the top priority DNS server in DnsServers collection (or DnsServers collection is empty), Smtp component will attempt to send the mail message to the first SMTP relay server in SmtpServers collection. If it fails, MailBee will attempt to connect and send to lower priority SMTP relay servers. If this fails too and DnsServers collection is not empty, the mail message will be sent in direct send mode.

If the top priority SMTP relay server has lower priority than the top priority DNS server in DnsServers collection, Smtp component will attempt to send the mail message in direct send mode, and then try to send to SMTP relay servers if certain recipients failed during direct send.

When Connect method is called (rather than Send), the Smtp component will attempt to connect to the SMTP relay servers in the same way as described above. However, if all SMTP relay servers failed, no attempt to perform direct send is made (because Connect method does not send any mail messages, it only connects to an SMTP relay server). In other words, when the connection is established via explicit call to Connect method, direct send mode and DnsServers collection are never used.
