Sending Emails

[Pc_Madness]

Ok, I'm starting to get the feeling that sending emails is impossible.

1) I'm using Learning Edition, so I can't use Winsock
2) I can't use Outlook, I don't have it set up to send/recieve emails and I'm guessing not many other people do either.

Anyone know any other ways???

Do you know anyone with the full version of vb6?
If you do borrow their cd's.

You may not have a winsock control, but it doesn't stop you from using a remote smtp service to send email.

I use a command line utility called Blat. This allows you to send an email through any smtp service (provided that you know the mail server name, i.e. mail.yahoo.com). You will need to 'Shell' the program.

There is also a DLL available for those who want an API approach.

The good thing about Blat is that it is Freeware!

I have seen a VB Class using Blat, but the link I had doesn't exist any more! But you could encapsulate it into a ActiveX control easily enough.
