    Re: Sending an E-mail using VB 6

    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.

    Re: Sending an E-mail using vbSendMail

    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
    i do my best to test code works before i post it, but sometimes am unable to do so for some reason, and usually say so if this is the case.
    Note code snippets posted are just that and do not include error handling that is required in real world applications, but avoid On Error Resume Next

    dim all variables as required as often i have done so elsewhere in my code but only posted the relevant part

    come back and mark your original post as resolved if your problem is fixed
