c# - Sending mail without installing an SMTP server

Question

I have a .Net application. I want this application to send an email to me. How do I implement this without installing an SMTP server?

Answer 1

Using an SmtpClient to send a MailMessage does not require you to have a server on your local machine.

Your e-mail service provider is the one with the server (e.g. smtp.gmail.com), and your SmtpClient talks to it.
