Hello everyone, 

I am trying to test sending out emails to users from a generic email such as [e-mail].

I want to do this in a button click event. How do I achieve this without using credentials?

Write the email to disk.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/configure-apps/file-schema/network/specifiedpickupdirectory-element-network-settings

<configuration>
  <system.net>
    <mailSettings>
      <smtp deliveryMethod="SpecifiedPickupDirectory">
        <specifiedPickupDirectory pickupDirectoryLocation="C:\some\folder\" />
      </smtp>
    </mailSettings>
  </system.net>
</configuration>

You'll need to ask your SMTP host if you you actually want to send an email.
