Sending mails from ELMAH not throw the mailSettings in the web.config

Question

I'm using ELMAH (1.2.13605.2128) for error control on my asp.net websites. This is working fine with the standard mail settings in the web.config:

<system.net>
<mailSettings>
  <smtp deliveryMethod="Network">
    <network host="smtp.gmail.com" defaultCredentials="false"
    port="587" userName ="[email protected]" password="yourMailPassword" />
  </smtp>
</mailSettings>
</system.net>

But so everyone can read the username and password for the mail account who has access to the web.config.

Is there a way to use the mail module without the web.config? Maybe using encrypted data from a database für the mail settings?
