Um, do you know C#? If so, I can give you some refrences... Framework SMTP Class: System.Web.Mail Namespace[^] CodeProject Examples: SNTP Client in C#[^] Sending Mail Using C# via SMTP[^] But really; Before looking at all that, you should read this... The SMTP Specification[^] I havn't read this particular one, but I did read the POP3 specification. It gave me a much clearer understanding of what's going on. So, do that. And always remember and never forget... SEARCH GOOGLE. There are tons of examples on the net too, with lots of 3rd party components also. I hope this helps... I'm not sure if I under stood you correctly... "...without using any email client." With out a client at all, with out Outlook, a console window, service? i'm confused... /\ |_ E X E GG

Maybe these links helps you. http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/emailsender.asp[^] http://www.codeproject.com/dotnet/SMTP_with_Authentication.asp[^] If you don't want any setting in your computer you can send mail with Socket class and do dot use
SmtpMailclass. Like this article: http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/sendmailcsharp.asp[^] Mazy No sig. available now. -

You have to setup your SMTP Virtual Server in the Internet Information Manager snap-in (in your Administrative Tools in your Control Panel) to forward mail accordingly. Otherwise, the server doesn't know where to send mail.

Hii Thanx for this. But actually i didn't unerstand anything in this GEEK code. COuld u please tell me in detail how to configure SMTP virtual server so that i can send mails to Internet mail accounts like Yahoo and Hotmail.
Um, yeah, that's called a signature - it wasn't part of the message. As I said, open Internet Information Manager and you should see your SMTP Virtual Server. Right-click and select Properties, then RTFD. There's far too much to cover in a forum. You have to understand basic SMTP implementation, but the docs will help. As always, just hit F1.
