    I know how to send email with winsock (HELO, RCPT TO...),
    but I am interested in sending it without using a "local" mail server.
    This is what i mean:
    i have an email like [email protected], can i just connect to usa.net and send email to loopy ?
    If not, can i use an internacional smtp server?
    Im thinking something like smtp.mail.yahoo.com, i tried to send email using standard commands, but it returns an error.
    Please help!
    P.S.
    Please excuse my bad english. (Im from Croatia)

    Hi, unfortunately http://wwww.netaddress does not allow you
    to freely use their SMTP server. You can try
    http://wwww.yahoo.com , but first you have to sign up for an account. Yahoo's SMTP SERVER is
    smtp.mail.yahoo.com , their POP3 Server is
    pop.mail.yahoo.com.
    If you want VB program that can send email then check out

    Bye.
