How to configure SMTP client to post to directory

Problem:

Needed to set up a webform to post email to a directory vice sending the email.

It is pretty straightforward.

 

Solution:

 

var smtpClient = new SmtpClient();

//Specify the delivery method as pickup

smtpClient.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.SpecifiedPickupDirectory;

//Specify folder for the pickup.

smtpClient.PickupDirectoryLocation = pickupFolder;
