SMTP configuration environment configuration pickupdirectorylocation

Question

I am trying to use an environment variable in the SMTP configuration for the specified pickup directory location. For instance.

<smtp deliveryMethod="SpecifiedPickupDirectory" from=" [e-mail] "> <specifiedPickupDirectory pickupDirectoryLocation="%TESTFOLDER%"/> </smtp> "%TESTFOLDER% = C:\Test 

But back to the error, saying that the path must be absolute.

Any ideas how I can make this work? Or even if it is possible!

Answer 1

You cannot use it like that.

What you can do is set the name env. variable in your app.settings settings, and then set pickupDirectoryLocation to code using System.Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable .

Or lose env. variable completely and use a configuration file that includes (preferably).
