Sending Email from code

[omlac]

Can someone help me on how to send email from a c# application without using SMTP server.

Um, I suppose there is a way to do it using outlook automation? Never tried that though, office automation is typically fraught with peril due to versioning issues and COM wackiness...

You can setup a webservice on a server that will send the email for you - you then just have to authenticate to the webservice and tell it what to send.

Hi,
Webservice?? If i use a web service and say i have 4 clients at 4 diferent sites, dont i need 4 different webservices 4 each site as well. I have read that i can create my own smtp server,Assuming that it does require exchange server installed, which one do u think is a better way of handling.
I need something that requires minimum modification once installed.
Thank you.

you would only need 1 webservice. the 4 clients would need access to that webservice.

if the clients have email then they have access to an email server. point the smtpclient object to the same server/port and send.
