I want to send emails from vb.net 2008. But the thing is some of my users are using outlook some are not using outlook. So which is the best way for sending mails?

Any Ideas For Me?

Thanks
 
Do you have access to an SMTP server?

Anyhow I done it from SMTP.

The Outlook security patches interrupt any 3rd party app that tries to send email via outlook so I wouldn't recommend that approach.

Far better to use SMTP to talk directly to the mail server. The objects are included in .Net, so it's pretty easy if you look at their examples.
