Hi

I'm playing with the free trial of MailBee.NET POP3. I have it working nicely on my own machine but when I try it on my web host I get an exception. I'll paste it below.

My host runs medium trust but before I started I tested SocketPermission with a little test program and that seems to be enabled. This error seems to be related to the line of code when I set the license key. Some web searching suggests that this might be related to obfuscation.

I got this error with the C# pop3 sample app and then with my own app. I'm running VS2005 SP1.

Any ideas?

Regards
Ross

This error indicates .NET Framework 2.0 installation is damaged. For instance, this occurs when SQL Server 2005 SP1 update gets installed. The solution is to uninstall SQL Server 2005 SP1 or select Repair option in .NET Framework 2.0 installer.

I do not think that is true! We got this message on our website that we host on godaddy.com, I do not think that a well known hoster like godaddy.com allow .NET Framework to be damaged.

The exception message clearly states that MailBee.NET.dll assembly attempts to use Byte class defined in System namespace (mscorlib.dll file). As the assembly is unable to access the core namespace of .NET Framework, it means that the issue is caused by problems in .NET Framework installation.

Have you tried to contact GoDaddy support staff regarding this issue?

Igor

I just contacted them and they told me this problem is related with the meduim trust level and that is true because I changed the trust level to full and this error disappeared but when I returned the trust level to meduim this error re-occur. Now the question is how can I make this component to work on meduim trust level without this error? Do you have a fix?
By the way I have the latest version.

Please let us know the exact build number of the MailBee.NET.dll you are using. You can see it in .dll Properties or using MailMessage.Version property.

You should use .NET 2.0+ optimized version 3.0.2.x. 3.0.1.x versions are for .NET 1.1. Although .NET Framework should be backward compatible, it's not always so.

By the way, build 74 is very old.

You can get the latest version (.NET 2.0+ optimized) from http://www.afterlogic.com/updates/mailbee_net_2.zip

The current one is 4.0.2.110.

Alex

The problem still exist even after installing the new version but with a different error message, when I change the trust level to full it disappears, here is the new error message:

That's correct. SocketPermissions means your environment does not allow making network connections on medium trust level. Obvisously, you should increase trust level in order to be able to make network connections.

We have a production software which will be installed on hosting servers which means that it will be used on on Meduim trust level environment!

SocketException means the current environment does not allow the application to make network connections. Obviously, the software which needs to make network connections, cannot be used where making network connections is not allowed.

However, many shared hosting providers allow making connections. The security policy of each provider is different and there is no common approach.

Is this a general case for all meduim trust level or just for our environment?
From microsoft website the meduim trust level limitations are:
1- Calling unmanaged code.
2 -Accessing the registry.
3- Writing to the event log.
4- Connecting to databases other than SQL Server.
5- Accessing Web resources on remote servers.
6- Accessing the file system beyond your application's virtual directory hierarchy.

I think using sockets are allowed in meduim level!

It's your environment limitation. Trust levels defined by .NET are just defaults and can (and often are) overridden.

In our environment, socket connections work on medium trust.

Update. After resetting trust levels to dfeaults we found that sockets are indeed disabled at Medium Trust level.

The reason they are usually enabled at shared hostings is that the most popular setting there is High, not Medium, and some hosting providers set Medium but additionally enable sockets.
