I am sorry; I meaned an unattended sending of mail.

In spite of this - the way you have mentioned requies a mail client installed.

Use the Winsock control and connect to a specific SMTP server. Check the RFCs for how to send a message.

For Winsock control you need a form. Or - you can set it to an object variable, but you need to have this control installed on computer.

But I downloaded an Anonymous Mailer some years ago, and I have determined it uses directly Wsock32.dll functions.

Is anywhere a description how to use the WSOCK32 library for mailing?

Try MSDN. I think there may be something on Planetsourcecode to do this.
