Nlog send by exchange

I am attempting to use NLog in a C# application that is deployed over a local domain.

Each user has an exchange mailbox and up until now I have been using Office.Interop with a basic logging class to send the results from their built in exchange account.

Is there any way to do something similar with NLog, I cant see anything in their documentation that would allow me to do this.

You could use the NLog Mail Target in combination, with (a) the Windows Identity Layout Renderer (if you can construct the mailaddress from the logged in username)

<!-- In your NLog.config. -->
<target
    ...
    from="${windows-identity:domain=false}@yourcompany.com"
    ...>

or (b) the EventProperties Layout Renderer (formerly EventContext) to provide the mailaddress from your application.

/* In your code. */
LogEventInfo theEvent = new LogEventInfo(LogLevel.Debug, "", "Pass my custom value");

theEvent.Properties["MailAddress"] = theUsersMailAddress;
myLogger.Log(theEvent);

<!-- In your NLog.config. -->
<target
    ...    
    from="${event-properties:item=MailAddress}"
    ...>
