Hi, Jeremy.

The only reason to use that is if the smtp server needs authentication.

I've sent quite a few references to this FAQ page in response
to questions about sending authenticated smtp mail:

http://www.systemwebmail.com/faq/3.8.aspx

If the server doesn't need authenticacion, the standard, less complicated,
methods of sending mail ( the "wrappers" you refer to ) work just fine,
so why introduce complicated schema code if there's no need for it ?

The best reference site for system.web.mail is this FAQ :

http://www.systemwebmail.com/faq.aspx

I don't think I've come up with a problem not documented/solved there.
