Emailing in VB6?

I had a friend, he could send me an email from an email he doesn't have. (ex: [email protected] or anything else.) He could send me any email too. He showed me the program, and let me use it, it was made in vb, but he would never give me the source. How Can I do this with vb6?

i get enough spam already thanx

Very helpful comment. This isn't for spam.

If you have a mail server using exchange you could add a reference to:'Microsoft CDO for exchange' then use this code ?

Code:

---

Private Sub Command1_Click() 'send Email
 Dim objMessage
 
On Error GoTo err:
    Set objMessage = New CDO.Message
    objMessage.Subject = "Test Message"
    objMessage.From = "from.me.com" 'add any text here
    objMessage.To = "to_your.friend.com"
    objMessage.TextBody = "This is a test message"
   
    objMessage.Configuration.Fields.Item _
    ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing") = 2
    objMessage.Configuration.Fields.Item _
    ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver") = "192.168.26.1" 'enter IP address of your mail server
    objMessage.Configuration.Fields.Item _
    ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport") = 25
    objMessage.Configuration.Fields.Update
    objMessage.Send
    Set objMessage = Nothing
 
    Exit Sub
err:
    MsgBox "Error!" & vbNewLine & err.Description
    Exit Sub
End Sub

I don't have a mail server, neither did my friend.
