Reuse "from" address defined in system.net, mailSettings, stmp

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What new or enhanced feature are you proposing?

Currently the errorMail requires to specify the from address, but it's able
to pick the host, port, username and password from system.net ->
mailSettings -> stmp -> network.

It seems that it would be good to also read the from address so it's set
just once in the web.config file and it doesn't have to be adjusted in the
general mailSettings and Elmah's errorMail.

What goal would this enhancement help you achieve?

It avoids error if the main mailSettings account is changed but the person
doesn't realize that it's being used also in Elmah. It also simplifies the
errorMail entry:
  <errorMail to="user@example.com" />

Of course, if it's manually defined then it should behave just like it does
right now.

Looks like there's even a TODO comment related to this in ErrorMailModule.cs:
