MailMergeLib version 5 is an SMTP mail client library which provides comfortable mail merge capabilities. MailMergeLib is written in C# and comes with the following features:

1. Mail message generation:

  • Email templates can be fully individualized in terms of recipients, subject, HTML and/or plain text, attachments and even headers. Placeholders are inserted as variable names from data source between curly braces like so: {MailboxAddress.Name} or with formatting arguments like {Date:yyyy-MM-dd}.
  • HTML text may contain images from local hard disk, which will be automatically inserted as inline attachments.
  • For HTML text MailMergeLib can generate a plain text representation.
  • Attachment sources can be files, streams or strings.
  • The data source for email merge messages to a number of recipients and be any IEnumerable object as well as DataTables. The data source for single emails can be any of the following types: Dictionary<string,object>, ExpandoObject, DataRow, any class instances or anonymous types. For class instances it's even allowed to use the name of parameter less methods.
  • Placeholders in the email can be formatted with any of the features known from string.Format by using SmartFormat.NET. SmartFormat is a parser coming close to string.Format's speed, but bringing a lot of additional options like easy pluralization for many languages.
  • Resulting emails are MimeMessages from MimeKit, an outstanding tool for creating and parsing emails, covering all relevant MIME standards making sure that emails are not qualified as SPAM.
  • Support for international email address format.

2. Sending email messages:

  • Practically unlimited number of parallel tasks to send out individualized emails to a big number of recipients.
  • SmptClients for each task can get their own preconfigured settings, so that e.g. several mail servers can be used for one send job.
  • Progress of processing emails can easily be observed with a number of events.
  • SMTP failures can automatically be resolved supplying a backup configuration. This fault-tolerance is essential for unattended production systems.
  • Emails are sent using the SmtpClient from MailKit, the sister project to MimeKit. SmtpClient is highly flexible and can be configured for literally every scenario you can think of.
  • Instead of sending, emails can also be stored in MIME formatted text files, e.g. if a "pickup directory" from IIS or Microsoft Exchange shall be used. If needed, these files can be loaded back into a MimeMessage from MimeKit.

3. Save and restore:

  • Messages and templates can be saved and loaded to/from XML files.
  • Configuration settings for messages and SMTP can be stored to and loaded from an XML file.

4. Both:

  • Fine grained control over the whole process of email message generation and distribution.
  • Clearly out-performs .NET System.Net.Mail.
  • RFC standards compliant.
  • We ask you not to use MailMergeLib for sending unsolicited bulk email.

5. Supported Frameworks

  • .Net Framework 4.6.1 and later
  • .Net Standard 2.1 and later
