SmtpClient accepts bogus values. -- dotnet sdk

dotnet sdk : SmtpClient accepts bogus values.

The following throws no exceptions - why?

SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient("bogus");
client.UseDefaultCredentials = true;
MailMessage mail = new MailMessage("bogus", "bogus", "Windward test email",
"This is an email sent from the Windward RePortal installer");
client.Send(mail);

Am I missing something? It seems to me that this should throw exceptions for
3 reasons (server, from, and to address).

Hi Dave,

Based on my test, the code does throw exception for the MailMessage ctor.
MailMessage mail = new MailMessage("bogus", "bogus", "Windward test email",
"This is an email sent from the Windward RePortal installer");

Once we changed the from/to email address below, the exception will gone.
"bogus@a.com", "bogus@a.com",

Also the format for the server name bogus is OK, because in LAN we can use
a smtp server name of such format but not a internal full qualified name.
e.g.(smtp.doamin.com).
