Is it actuially possible to send an e-mail via pure API, instead of using Winsock or MAPI? I would prefer to use API, as I really don't want to have to install and register the winsock control on the target machine that my app will run on (as it is a school network machine, and they aren't too happy about having foreign stuff installed on them :D)

If you can shed any light on this or point me in the right direction I would appreciate it a lot. Thanks.

You don't want OCXes? Use the Winsock API!

You could use the Winsock API. I just won't tell you how. No, I'm not trying to be evil. :(
I just asked a lot of people for the Winsock API for a long time and nobody ever gave me a good answer on how to use it!!! :mad:

By the way, you can't do anything over the internet on a Windows operating system without Winsock.

Here ya go... :D

Here is the link to the code on Planet Source code for sending email via winsock API.

http://www.planet-source-code.com/vb...txtCodeId=8211

I had to tinker a bit with the code, as I kept getting errors when trying to send data about the sender (strange reasons, won't go into it...) Also, the code is very poorly documented and laid out, as i see it has been copied and pasted from a wincosk module that another guy wrote ages back. There is a few functions that needn't be in there...

The whole thing is also a bit dodgy, as you have to subclass the form to recieve incoming events from the port... Check it out.

I was going to transfer this code into a class module, but I just haven't got the time as I'm doing my GCSEs. Maybe when i finish i will do it... :D

Anyway, I got the code working in my program, and soon i should be recieving usernames and passwords by email as they are entered into my fake RM Connect login program on my school network! Muhahahah :D :D :D
