sending email from my .net application

[benlogan1981]

I have a requirement to include some basic email functionality into a windows desktop application - simple enough! The problem is that I can't use the standard SMTP stuff in .NET as we need the application to work accross multiple users desktops without seperate configuration. So I have no SMTP host. My guess is that I need to either bundle an email server with my app somehow, but that sounds like a lot of work. Or alternatively I could use a third party tool to perform direct sends, thereby avoiding SMTP all together. Can someone help me out on this one; I am a bit stuck as to the best way to proceed - I am sure that this must crop up quite often, but I cant seem to find many developer accounts of this problem on the web.

Any help would be much appreciated. I am currently testing the directsend feature in devMail.net ...

It is the same as writing email application in php, you do not have to run it through and pop/smtp server. Free standing application. on
