Sending Mail through program in VB

Can anyone help me in sending an e-mail through my program written in VB. It is preferable that I do not need to use Library files used by Outlook or Netscape Composer

Use the Winsock Control or API and connect directly to an SMTP server.

Could you give me the name of the API to use. I am not experiened enough to use Winsock at a high level. Please give me the full declaration line of the required API

here is the source code of the the programme u r looking for
