Hi,

I want my application to be able to send an email.

The PC that the application may run on, may not have outlook installed or
even have an SMTP service running within its network.

Is there a way from within VB.net 2008 to send an email in this scenario, or
would I need to get a SMTP component and include it within my application ?

Thanks

Click to expand...

You can use System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient to send email - but, your going to have
to have a server that you can connect to... It doesn't have to be local, but
it does have to be reachable. And, you have to be able to support it's
authentication protocols.
