Support multiple email addresses with ErrorMailModule

[GoogleCodeExporter]

To send the error reports to multiple email addresses, I made the 
following change:

In ErrorMailModule ReportError() method, locate this:
    mail.To.Add(new MailAddress(recipient));
and replace with this:
    string[] toAddresses = recipient.Split(';');
    foreach (string toAddress in toAddresses)
    {
        mail.To.Add(new MailAddress(toAddress));
    }

Now, you can put multiple addresses in the 'To' attribute of the errorMail 
setup like:
    <errorMail from="errors@mywebsite.com" to="email@hotmail.com; 
supportthis@hotmail.com" subject="Website Error" async="true"/>

This is already supported but the synatx is different depending on the ELMAH 
compilation you use. If you are using ELMAH compiled for .NET Framework 1.x, 
then it 
relies on System.Web.Mail for SMTP support and where the recipient list has to 
be 
semi-colon-delimited (;) (see System.Web.Mail.MailMessage.To). If you are using 
ELMAH compiled for .NET Framework 2.0 or later, instead, then it relies on 
System.Net.Mail for SMTP support and where the recipient list has to be comma-
delimited (,) (see System.Net.Mail.MailAddressCollection.Add). Using semi-colon 
will 
actually throw FormatException. I know it's confusing, but the functionality is 
already there.

I've added a comment in the sample web.config (see samples/web.config) about 
how to 
address multiple recipients in the error mail module configuration and 
hopefully 
this will help a bit for now. Eventually this may need to make into some sort 
of FAQ 
or documentation.

Ok.  That is fine, just did not realize the comma would work under 2.0.
You could consider making it work with a comma under .net 1.1 and with a 
semicolon 
under .net 2.0 so that it just works under either platform, no faq, questions, 
problems, etc...

Here is a patch that will allow semi-colons to work with 2.0 and comma to work 
with 1.1

Hi TammamKoujan, 

This seems like something for the ELMAH discussion group. Can you post this as 
a 
question there (http://groups.google.com/group/elmah) so that it can get the 
appropriate feedback please? 

Thanks,

James
