Here is a very simple web.config file that sends an e-mail whenever an unhandled error occurs. Pay attention to the <healthMonitoring> and <system.net> section. These are the important ones that makes it work.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
   <appSettings/>
   <connectionStrings/>

   <system.web>
      <compilation debug="false" />
      <trace enabled="true" localOnly="false" />

      <healthMonitoring enabled="true">
         <providers>
            <add name="EmailProvider"
               type="System.Web.Management.SimpleMailWebEventProvider"
               from="you@domain.com"
               to="you@domain.com"
               subjectPrefix="Error: "
               buffer="true"
               bufferMode="Notification" />
         </providers>
         <rules>
            <add provider="EmailProvider" name="All App Events" eventName="All Errors" />
