Is there a way to set the EnableSSL from the web.config?

I could set this property in code, but that wouldn’t work for the Simple Mail Web Event and other classes that uses the default Smtp Server. Any ideas?

  1. For .NET 3 and earlier: You can’t. You have to manage it by hand.

    For more information you can see https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/vikas/2008/04/29/bug-asp-net-2-0-passwordrecovery-web-control-cannot-send-emails-to-ssl-enabled-smtp-servers/.

    For .NET 4: You can.

    See http://theoldsewingfactory.com/2011/01/06/enable-ssl-in-web-config-for-smtpclient/

    <configuration>     <system.net>         <mailSettings>             <smtp deliveryMethod=”network”>                 <network host='localhost'                          port='25'                          enableSsl='true'                          defaultCredentials='true' />             </smtp>         </mailSettings>     </system.net> </configuration>
