E-mail via API, NO winsock?

[REM]

Is it actuially possible to send an e-mail via pure API, instead of using Winsock or MAPI? I would prefer to use API, as I really don't want to have to install and register the winsock control on the target machine that my app will run on (as it is a school network machine, and they aren't too happy about having foreign stuff installed on them )

If you can shed any light on this or point me in the right direction I would appreciate it a lot. Thanks.

You could use the Winsock API. I just won't tell you how. No, I'm not trying to be evil.
I just asked a lot of people for the Winsock API for a long time and nobody ever gave me a good answer on how to use it!!!

By the way, you can't do anything over the internet on a Windows operating system without Winsock.

Thanks Yonatan, I know you need winsock for sending e-mail, i was just thinking about using pure winsock api and no winsock control... Thanks And don't be soo bitter about ppl not replying to your posts. Ppl will reply if they have a valid and helpful answer

Rem please send me the code

Here is the link to the code on Planet Source code for sending email via winsock API.

I had to tinker a bit with the code, as I kept getting errors when trying to send data about the sender (strange reasons, won't go into it...) Also, the code is very poorly documented and laid out, as i see it has been copied and pasted from a wincosk module that another guy wrote ages back. There is a few functions that needn't be in there...

The whole thing is also a bit dodgy, as you have to subclass the form to recieve incoming events from the port... Check it out.

I was going to transfer this code into a class module, but I just haven't got the time as I'm doing my GCSEs. Maybe when i finish i will do it...

Anyway, I got the code working in my program, and soon i should be recieving usernames and passwords by email as they are entered into my fake RM Connect login program on my school network! Muhahahah
