NLog.MailKit

NuGet Build Status Bugs Vulnerabilities alternate text is missing from this package README image Coverage

Alternative Mail target for NLog using MailKit. Compatible with .NET standard 2+

Including this package will replace the original mail target and has the same options as the original mail target, see docs of the original mailTarget

Currently not implemented:

  • NTLM auth

This library is integration tested with the SmtpServer NuGet package

How to use

  1. Install the package:

    Install-Package NLog.MailKit or in your csproj:

    <PackageReference Include="NLog.MailKit" Version="5.*" />

  2. Add to your nlog.config:

    <extensions>
    <add assembly="NLog.MailKit"/>
</extensions>

    Alternative register from code using fluent configuration API:

    LogManager.Setup().SetupExtensions(ext => ext.RegisterTarget<NLog.MailKit.MailTarget>());

See the NLog Wiki for available options and examples.

Note that the option skipCertificateValidation="true" can prevent AuthenticationException if your remote certificate for smtpServer is invalid - not recommend!
