Storing Smtp from a mobile phone name in Web.Config

Question

I store my email settings in a web configuration, for example ...

<mailSettings> <smtp from="[e-mail]"> <network host="smtp.findremovalcompanies.com" userName="[e-mail]" password="password" /> </smtp> </mailSettings> 

Now when i create a new

 var smtp = new SmtpClient(); 

smpt has my credentials and will be by default from the address to [e-mail], which will save me from having to do this every time.

 MailAddress("[e-mail]", "Splidge Master") 

But I can't figure out how to specify the friendly display name "Splidge Master" in the web.config file. No settings for it?

Answer 1

You can use html encoded <and> (& lt; and>) to deliver the display name in the from attribute.

<smtp deliveryMethod="Network" from="Mail Displayname &lt;[e-mail]&gt;">

Answer 2

From memory, the from= from="Display Name <[e-mail]>" attribute should be changed from="Display Name <[e-mail]>" .

Answer 3

If you need the exact equivalent, encode double quotes ( " ) too:

 <smtp from="&quot;Splidge Master&quot; &lt;[e-mail]&gt;">
