ELMAH SMTP

Question

I am using ELMAH to email error messages. Is there an elegant solution to query a database for SMTP settings rather than use web.config? I would need it to be done before each error is thrown.

The solution/s suggested here are a bit hacky for me.

Answer 1

Aside from your hacky method, the only other option that I can think of is to roll your own version of the binary, like SO does. You can find the source here:
