| | Oh, how did you send the email? I've been thinking about doing this also, and am investigating ways of doing it. |

| | .NET actually has some good SMTP classes for sending emails. Here is a simple example (I went ahead and showed how to authenticate as this is generally the next question. If you are mailing from an internal server that will relay your message you might not need this, but I thought it would help. Also, you can format the mail message to support HTML, etc. I just showed you the basics. Dim smtp As New System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient("mymail.server.com")
Dim mailItem As New System.Net.Mail.MailMessage("myEmail@somewhere.com", _
"someone@there.com", _
"Howdy", _
"Here is the body")
smtp.Credentials = New System.Net.NetworkCredential("MyUserName", "MyPassword")
smtp.Send(mailItem) |

| | Thanks Trent. I've heard that this can fail because ISPs block mail sent to servers outside of their domain. Is this something you've heard of? I.e. I'm accessing the internet via a wireless connection at a hotel or using the network connection at a client site, attempt to send an email via the SMTP server at my company and the hosting network blocks the email. |

| Is this something you've heard of? Thus the credentials. If you supply a mail server, port, and credentials...that's email...period  We use this everywhere. The only thing that you cannot do is pull mail down from a POP3 server...but sending...no problem |
