Exception when creating MailMessage
- by Julien Poulin
I'm getting a FormatException telling me the address '[email protected]' is invalid (I'm guessing because of the '-'). Here is the code I'm using:
var md = new MailDefinition();
md.BodyFileName = physicalPath;
md.Subject = subject;
md.From = from;
md.CC = cc;
md.IsBodyHtml = true;
MailMessage mailMessage = md.CreateMailMessage(to, replacements, owner);
Is there a bug in the .Net e-mail parser? I am sure this address is valid since it belongs to a friend and I have no problem sending and receiving his e-mails with Outlook.
Is there a way to fix this?
EDIT: Here is the stacktrace:
