Question

Is it possible to set “To” address in SMTP mail settings just like “From” address? there is an attribute for “From”, but not “To” address. basically I need to send an email to technical support whenever a specific exception (or any unhandled exception) happens in the application. I can add it to “appSettings”, but wondering if I can specify it in SMTP settings itself, without having to read from “appSettings”. thanks in advance

  <system.net>
    <mailSettings>
      <smtp deliveryMethod="network" from="[e-mail]">
        <network host="some server" defaultCredentials="true" />
      </smtp>
    </mailSettings>
  </system.net>

No, you cannot specify the To property in the config file. You will need to set it programatically.
