SmtpServer.AutoNameLogFile Property

Specifies whether Smtp.NET should automatically choose a random name for the log file.

Property Value

If true, the log file is created using a unique name in the path specified with the TempDirectory property. If false, the log file is not automatically generated.

Remarks

The automatically named log file is placed in the temporary directory set with the TempDirectory property. The name of the log file can be retrieved, after the Send or MailMerge method is called, with the LogFilename property. Setting this property overrides value specified with LogFilename property or the log filename specified in the constructor of the SmtpServer class.

                 // Make the object create a unique log file name
                 oSmtpDotNet.AutoNameLogFile = true;
            
                 // Set the remote server name.  If left blank, "localhost" is used.
                 oSmtpDotNet.ServerAddress = "mail.domain.com";
