You must have an SMTP server _somewhere_ if you are mailing to the internet in general; internet mail requires it. [There are some localized mail systems that don't use SMTP.] However, you don't need a _local_ server. If you can access internet sites directly, you can do the send from a local process to the remote site directly. To do this properly you _MUST_ understand the relevant internet standards. Basically, however, you need one of the many .NET components that can send mail using MX lookup, rather than only forwarding it to a proper SMTP server. HTH, Ruth
