SMTP e-mail from VB.NET

[Toble Rone]

Can anyone direct me to an article that explain how to send normal smtp
emails from a VB.net windows app?. (i mean, using normal tcp to send the
mail)

Tnx in advance

if you don't want to use the built in SMTP control (which is limited) and
create your own system look up the SMTP RFC document.. else

Why not use the appropriate classes from the .NET Framework?

They will do the job if your job is simple. They dont support much beyond
basic attachments and plain mails. Also they need CDO to be installed which
not all machines have.

ACK. Nevertheless, you already posted the "other" solution.

BTW - I wasnt "attacking your demo - I just saw it linked now. I was
referencing the System.Web.Mail which your demo uses.

Just to be clear.

We use freeSMTP and are very happy with the free version.

Just note that it doesnt support authentication in case you need it.
