Good day,
We just converted our web application .NET 1.1 to .NET 2.0. We have a major problem sending emails.
We are using distribution group (eg: WebDeveloppersGroup) to send emails to all the developpers in the company. These groups don’t end with ‘@ something.com’. These groups are created in Lotus Notes, and we cannot access all the individual emails contained in these groups
In .NET 2.0 you cannot use email.To and are required to use: email.To.Add(‘WebDeveloppersGroup’);
This causes a System.Format with the following message:
The specified string is not in the form required for an e-mail address.
Does anyone know how to send to an email group in 2.0 ?
I believe you can interact with Lotus Notes from .net and query it to get you the xyz@xyz.xyz addresses in the group. I’m not very familiar with it but you could start here:

Good luck!
