sending emails using vb6

Hi every1

Im trying to get some stuff on VB and well I'm new to VB. What I need is, How can I send an email from VB without using MAPI/Outlook. Just like what we do in asp or asp.net.

Any anwsers would be appreciable!

Thanks in advance.

U can get 3rd Party OCXs or use Winsock

Please have a look at the FAQ at the top of this forum,

It contains links to help you out :)

This one should be what your after,

Pino ;)

you can use telnet. and whast cool about it, the email you are sending from doesnt even have to be real, so anonymous emails galore. I like to email people using [email protected]. :thumb:

EDIT: found a site using telent to send SMTP mail http://winsockvb.com/article.php?article_id=20

I cant send the email?
I tried many smtp servers but its not working...

VB Code:

With SMTP
        .Server = "mail.hotmail.com"
        .Port = 25
        .MailFrom = "[email protected]"
        .MailTo = "[email protected]"
        .NameFrom = "Me"
        .NameTo = "You"
        .Subject = "Test mail from WinsockVB.com control"
        .Body = "Hello"

I also have the other SMTP titled code in the bacground. I click play and it doesnt show anything. Just a curso blinking really fast. And I cant type anything inside it and that doesn't work? So what can be the problem? I havent messed with the code any?!?!?
This would be very helpful to learn, thanksss :D
