Send mail thru Lotus Notes ?

[MrBean]

I'm writing an .NET Windows Forms application in VB.NET for a customer and have to send mails thru their Lotus Notes (v5.11) mailing system. I'm not allowed to use SMTP due their to security policy so I'm forced to somehow send mails directly to Lotus Notes. Any ideas on how to accomplish this ? Any 3. part controls I can use or sample code maybe ? TIA :) /Klaus

IIRC (I worked with Lotus Notes a long, long time ago), the Lotus Notes client has an ActiveX interface. If you install the client on a machine, you can send e-mails directly. BTW, good luck (you'll need it): Lotus Notes is the most buggy piece of software I have worked with. Perl combines all the worst aspects of C and Lisp: a billion different sublanguages in one monolithic executable. It combines the power of C with the readability of PostScript. -- Jamie Zawinski
