When you try to send an email with classical way in WCF service which is served in sharepoint you probably getting an error. As a workaround, you have to set HttpContext.Current = null. it will use the right context .

Here is the example:


try
{
   using (SPSite site = new SPSite("http://blog.bugrapostaci.com"))
   {
       SPWeb web = site.RootWeb;
        {
            //Save context to temp variable than set null
            HttpContext tempContext = HttpContext.Current;
            HttpContext.Current = null;
            string MailTo = "admin@blog.bugrapostaci.com";
            string Subject = "Make it easy";
            string Body = "A message from Bugra";
            bool success = SPUtility.SendEmail(web, true, true, MailTo, Subject, Body);
            HttpContext.Current = tempContext;
        }
    }
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
    // Exception Handling
}


Happy coddings...
