sending smtp message through SmtpClient:

// Loop all your clients addresses
foreach (string address in addresses)
{

mailMessage.Subject = "your message subject goes here";
mailMessage.Body = "your message body goes here";

MemoryStream memoryStream = new MemoryStream(binaryFile);
mailMessage.Attachments.Add( new Attachment( memoryStream, filename , MediaTypeNames.Application.Pdf ));

SmtpClient smtpClient = new SmtpClient();
smtpClient.Send(mailMessage);
