The following code example displays the destination of an e-mail message.

public static void CreateTestMessage3()
{
    MailAddress to = new MailAddress("jane@contoso.com");
    MailAddress from = new MailAddress("ben@contoso.com");
    MailMessage message = new MailMessage(from, to);
    message.Subject = "Using the new SMTP client.";
    message.Body = @"Using this new feature, you can send an e-mail message from an application very easily.";
    // Use the application or machine configuration to get the 
    // host, port, and credentials.
    SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient();
    Console.WriteLine("Sending an e-mail message to {0} at {1} by using the SMTP host {2}.",
        to.User, to.Host, client.Host);
    client.Send(message);
}
