How can I connect my own email provider in ELMAH?

Question

I asked about this in the elmah group in google groups, but am still puzzled, so I decided that I would throw him in a larger pool. Here's the original note with my code that is currently worth it.

---

I have ELMAH installed in my MVC 5 application and I want to use a dedicated email service to send email instead of using smtp sending, which is configured by default. (This is organizational preference.) I have already been picking it, but I can’t figure out how to do it. My service call works fine, but I can’t connect it so that it works when there is an exception. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What I set up is this:

Web.config (deleted lines not related to elmah):

errorMail web.config, :

  <elmah>
    <security allowRemoteAccess="false" />
    <errorLog type="Elmah.SqlErrorLog, Elmah" connectionStringName="BFRDPDB" applicationName="FarmAnswers.org" />
    <errorMail
    from="[e-mail]"
    to="[e-mail]"
    subject="..."
    priority="Low"
    async="true"
    smtpPort="25"
    smtpServer="smtp.example.com"
    useSsl="true"
    userName="johndoe"
    password="secret"
