Sending email with winsock ...

[LoopY]

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 loopy@usa.net, 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
