How to resolve a 'smtp.ServicePoint.Address threw an exception of type System.NotSupportedException' when sending emails in MVC?

I am trying to send emails through an MVC App. Everything else seems to be working fine except for smtp.Send(mess).

The error description is below:

smtp.ServicePoint.Address threw an exception of type System.NotSupportedException

My code:

    var smtp = new SmtpClient
                    {
                        Host = "smtp.gmail.com",
                        Port = 587,
                        EnableSsl = true,
                        DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network,
                        UseDefaultCredentials = false,
                        Credentials = new NetworkCredential(senderEmail.Address, password)
                    };
                using (var mess = new MailMessage(senderEmail, receiverEmail)
                {
                    Subject = subject,
                    Body = body
                })
                {
                    smtp.Send(mess); 
                }

What am I doing wrong?

I have checked the web.config file in my project and find out mail is physically strode in the pickupDirectoryLocation="D:\xxxxmaildrop" location and there is no any "xxxxmaildrop" folder in my D drive. So manually created a one. Then run the project. After that step a mail was created in the given location and no exceptions found. Please try this solution too, it worked for me.

<mailSettings>
      <smtp deliveryMethod="SpecifiedPickupDirectory" from="[email protected]">
        <specifiedPickupDirectory pickupDirectoryLocation="D:\xxxxmaildrop" />
      </smtp>
</mailSettings>
