MailAddress in .NET

Question

I'm attempting to send an email and instead of sending 5 individual emails to each person, I would like to send one mass email to all 5 people. The difference here is that I want everyone to show up in the "TO" or "CC" lines. How can I do this?

Answer 1

This will send only one message:

MailMessage msg = new MailMessage();
msg.To.Add(new MailAddress("[email protected]", "Optional Name"));
msg.To.Add(new MailAddress("[email protected]"));
msg.To.Add(new MailAddress("[email protected]"));
msg.CC.Add(new MailAddress("[email protected]"));
msg.CC.Add(new MailAddress("[email protected]"));

// can add to BCC too
// msg.Bcc.Add(new MailAddress("[email protected]"));

msg.Body = "...";
msg.Subject = "...";

SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient();
smtp.Send(msg);

Answer 2

MailMessage.CC.Add(new MailAddress(address))

Answer 3

using System.Net.Mail;

...

MailMessage mmsg = new MailMessage();
mmsg.To.Add(new MailAddress("[email protected]"));
mmsg.To.Add(new MailAddress("[email protected]"));
mmsg.To.Add(new MailAddress("[email protected]"));

// set other properties here...

SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient("mymailserver.com");
client.Send(mmsg);

Edit: aww, john's fingers are faster than mine ;)
