System.Net.Mail.MailAddress Validation

Question

I am working with the lotus notes smtp server and i need to send mails to lotus notes mail groups, which are not standard mail addresses, for example:

mail.To.Add("#Team Mailing List");

I know that the smtp is able to accept this, but how can i make .net play ball, anyone tried this?

I want to avoid using the domino interop if possible.

Answer 1

Lotus Notes mail groups should be referred to by their Internet Address item. Have a look in your group document within the Domino Directory. You should see a standard SMTP address in the Internet Address field. The domino router task will handle sending to the group based on that address.
