I've got an object that represents an email, and I'd like to send it as a message to a user on Facebook. What email address do I use as the destination for this email that will be received as a message on Facebook?

+3  A: 

You need to request a special pemission to send email to a facebook user.

See: http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/Notifications.sendEmail

+1 You also need to use Facebook API rather than SendMail()

They do this for security, so evil people can not spam or harass their members outside of facebook. Inside of facebook you can only send messages based on a user's privacy settings or something.

In the "good news" department, Facebook has announced that soon you'll be able to email users with much less fuss:

The timing hasn't been fully revealed yet, but supposedly, soon!
