Is there a way in .NET 2.0 to send email without the use of an SMTP server, or is a SMTP server have to be used?
 
You have to use an SMTP server...or a POP3 server.

Hi Mike,

Click to expand...

you can access the network and send whatever you like with .NET, it just
doesn't have classes for all possible protocols. I am not aware of a
standard protocol for sending mail other than SMTP. What exactly are you
looking for?

If you just want to avoid the hassle of configuring a SMTP server
connection in your application, there is an option to write outgoing
mail to the IIS mail pickup directory from where a mail agent picks up
and processes mails. It is up to the mail agent to implement the sending
protocol then.

Hope this helps,

Roland
