    send Email via Controller and get SMTP Client Settings

    Hi,

    I want to save the SMTP CLient Setting in the Web Config and send my emails via a controller. So I use this code fragment

            MailMessage message = new MailMessage("[email protected]", "[email protected]");
        message.Subject = "Subject";
        message.Body =   EmailRenderer.Renderer("Reminder", modul);
        SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient("127.0.0.1", 25);
        client.Send(message);

    I don't want to set my SmtpClient-Settings here. Is this possible? How can I retrieve the credentials from the web.config?

    Thank you in advance, Nadine

    The configuration documentation is here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/configure-apps/file-schema/network/smtp-element-network-settings

    You just create a new SmtpClient and the settings will already be read.

    I just need to call an empty constructor, am I right?

                SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient();

    If you have configured the <smtp> element in your Web.config, then yes ;)

    FYI, the SmtpClient is IDisposable. You may get some dropped emails unless you dispose of it properly. Here's one way of doing that:

    using (var client = new SmtpClient())
{
    // Your code here.
}

    The using statement will dispose of the SmtpClient for you.
