Try the following to get the MailSettingsSectionGroup (assuming this is a web application)

Configuration config = WebConfigurationManager.OpenWebConfiguration(HttpContext.Current.Request.ApplicationPath);
MailSettingsSectionGroup settings = (MailSettingsSectionGroup)config.GetSectionGroup("system.net/mailSettings");
string smtpHost = settings.Smtp.Network.Host;

You have to use the ConfigurationManager and its method GetSection to do this.

MSDN docs: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.configuration.configurationmanager.getsection.aspx
