We are using the SmtpMail class to send email. There is a property named SmtpServer. Should there not also be a property to allow setting the port number? The default of 25 works ok, but in situations where a non-standard port number is used, the SmtpMail class will not support it. Using a non-standard port is a good means of increasing security so that viruses, worms, etc. will not be able to find a SMTP server to use just by scanning for port 25. Is there a reason this is not included as a property in the SmtpMail class? Will this be the same in version 2.0?

I did find how to make it work using the MailMessage class, however, this is not an intuitive way to set the server and port.

message.Fields["http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver"] = server; message.Fields["http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport"] = serverport; message.Fields["http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing"] = 2;
