Proper way to asynchronously send an email in ASP.NET… (am i doing it right?)

When a user registers on my website, I don\'t see why I need to make him \"wait\" for the smtp to go through so that he gets an activation email.

I decided I want to

I worked same issue for my project:

First tried Thread as you do:
- I loose context
- Exception handling problem
- Commonly said, Thread are bad idea on IIS ThreadPool

So I switch and try with asynchronously:
- 'asynchronously' is fake in a asp.net web application. It just put queue calls and swicth the context

So I make windows service and retrive the values through sql table: happy end

So for quick solution: from ajax side make async call tell the user fake yes, but continue your sending job in your mvc controller
