Help with vbsendmail.dll

[vbSun]

Hi,

I am trying to use the famous vbsendmail.dll to start mailing from my VB app. Am not sure what SMTP server should i give. Can any one help? Is there any that i can rely on to relay the mails? One more thing.. i may not be able to edit the code, once i deliver it.

Thanks for the help..
Sunil

Here is the code I use to send email through a couple of apps using outlook, that way whatever the system is set up to is how the mail is sent.

Public Sub SendNewMail(ByVal EMailAddress As String, ByVal SubjectText As String, ByVal BodyText As String)
Dim objOutlook As Object
Dim objOutlookMsg As Object

Set objOutlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application&quot
Set objOutlookMsg = objOutlook.CreateItem(0)

With objOutlookMsg
.To = EMailAddress
.Subject = SubjectText
.Body = BodyText
.Send
End With

Set objOutlookMsg = Nothing
Set objOutlook = Nothing
End Sub


Hope it helps

Hi DaemonSaDiablo,

Thanks for the helping hand. I am also used to the MS Outlook and its Automation, but this time, the scenario is a bit different. We need to use the package in almost every Win system, so systems without outlook will give us automation error. I found the vbsendmail.dll in another VB source code site,

http://www.freevbcode.com,

and i think that will be of use in this project. As i know, its already used widely, and thought some of us are better informed about it than i am. If you are still automating the Outlook, pls check that site, i think you will also find it useful at some point.

Thanks again..

I would consider using the MapiMessage and MapiSession controls. They give good control of mail sending with any standard Mapi client (Outlook, OE, Exchange etc) so you dont have to worry about SMTP settings or which Mapi client they use

There is a FAQ on MAPI and Outlook at faq222-179.

> Here is the code I use to send email through a couple of apps using outlook, that way whatever the system is set up to is how the mail is sent.

You may also find it useful to have a look at the MAPI stuff. Imagine if someone uses your program and thier system isn't using outlook...

A quick search on this forum brought up thread222-616754. I gave a sample in the last post in that thread.

There is also some stuff in VBHelp, under Mapi controls, MapiMessage Control and MapiSession Control
