System.Net.Mail -- how to continue sending to emails if one of the emails fails with a 511

I'm using the System.Net.Mail interfaces to send emails; however, if I am sending to a list of emails and one of them does not exist, the entire message is aborted and an exception is thrown. Is there a way to tell the Client to not throw an exception on a failed message and to sent to the rest of the recipients

Thanks,
Kevin

here is a simple method, althought there could be a simpler way, you can do something like I did here:

        static string Host = "";

        public static void SendList(MailMessage[] List)
        {
            bool[] ListErrors = new bool[List.Length];
            bool AllTrue = true;

            for (int I = 0; I < List.Length; I++)
                ListErrors

//emoticons/emotion-55.gif" alt="Idea" /> = SendMail(List Idea

);

for (int I = 0; I < ListErrors.Length; I++ )
if (ListErrors Idea

== false)
                    AllTrue = false;

            if (AllTrue)
                Console.WriteLine("All messages were sent.");
            else
            {
                Console.Write("Not all messages were sent, messages not sent are:");
                for (int I = 0; I < ListErrors.Length; I++)
                    if (ListErrors Idea

== false)
                        Console.Write(" " + I.ToString + ".");
            }
        }

        public static bool SendMail(MailMessage TheMessage)
        {
            SmtpClient Send = new SmtpClient(Host, 25);
            try
            {
                Send.Send(TheMessage);
            }
            catch (Exception)
            {
                return false;
            }
            finally
            {
                return true;
            }
        }

Simple ;)
