some tiem ago i tried with the vbSendMail dll. it worked fine and it's very easy to use. but i can't get the mail to get to destination because it needs a smtp server and i don't know any. can anyone help me with that? i tried the automatic SMTP search of the dll, but it didn't work on my computer. and because the program is directed to be distributed amongst my clients it would be russian roulette, so i need it to be fixed.

If you dont have access to a smtp server then you cant use it.
most people using outlook or outlook express, or just about any email client other than a webmail application have to have a smtp server, most internet users have access to a smtp server provided by there internet service provider,even if they have never set up to use it.
i would not rely on vbSendmail to detect a smtp server even if one is available, especially if it has not been setup, your users would have to find out if they have access to a smtp server and what its server is
