System.Net.Mail.MailAddress.To

In the old System.Web.Mail, you could use a string of delimited email address
(say stored in a config file) and bulk email setting it to the TO property.
eg "pers***@whereever.com,pers***@whereever.com"

The new System.Net.Mail.MailAddress.To appears to allow the string ok (we
are on Lotus so uses , instead of ; for multiple email addresses) but appears
to only send to the first email address and ignore the rest and no error
message. I don't seriously have to instantiate a copy of MailMessage to send
to multiple recipients do I. Am I doing something wrong or is it a Lotus or
email thing.. just goes through smtp doesn't it... Could it be a mail server
setting as it only appears to allow internal deliveries. Any help much
appreciated.. Thanks

Check out the following web site, devoted to the System.Net.Mail namespace:

http://www.systemnetmail.com/

It has the information you're looking for, as well as just about anything
else pertaining to sending email with the System.Net.Mail namespace.

Thanks Kevin. I checked that site and it was useful.

Bad news is that the To property IS a collection so will ahve to pick up my
string, tokenise it and then loop and add each recipient into the
collection...

Seems like a backward step to me from the old class though.

Cheers
