How to check email works with no SMTP

There is a way to send e-mails with no SMTP server set up. Just configure your .NET application to drop e-mails into a specified folder instead of sending them via SMTP server


  <system.net>

    <mailSettings>

      <smtp deliveryMethod="SpecifiedPickupDirectory">

        <specifiedPickupDirectory pickupDirectoryLocation="c:\Rohit\" />

      </smtp>

    </mailSettings>

  </system.net>



This will instruct SmtpClient class to generate mail message, save it as .eml file and drop it into c:\Test\ folder

kick it on DotNetKicks.com
