I’m trying to send email to Active Directory distribution groups.

I know you can send mail using something like:

 mail.From = new MailAddress('steveb@microsoft.com');  mail.To.Add('billg@microsoft.com');   //set the content  mail.Subject = 'This is an email';  mail.Body = 'this is a sample body with html in it.';  mail.IsBodyHtml = true;   //send the message  SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient('127.0.0.1');  // i seem to need this too....  smtp.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.PickupDirectoryFromIis;  smtp.Send(mail);

But when I try to stick in a (valid) AD group (eg ‘My Test Group’) in the To field, it kicks it out because it is not a valid email address.

I’m sure this is really straightforward, but I seem to be stuck…

Thanks

  1. You distribution group has a mail address, that’s what you need to add in the ‘to’ parameter.
