I , myself, am not sure about this. My friend says it can be done purely through VB. I will find out more about this from her. I have doubts about your legal purposes of this program you are going to make, but oh well, it's your choice.

I'm not a huge fan of Visual Basic, but controlling an SMTP server isn't all that hard. Basically, all you need to do is connect to it, specify the sender and receipient(s), and send the message.

And also, you might want to consider posting this in the Visual Basic forum.

Using winsock is enough.But you do need a SMTP server where you have a account from, like the smtp server of your isp since relaying is disabled in 99 out of 100 servers these days :DI did create a small basic smtp email proggie though, if you need the VB source i might even mail it to you if you ask nicely

You can use the Microsoft Webbrowser control in there and use PHP

I can provide you a solution using VB.NET - I can't stand VB6 anymore..

 

The .NET framework provides you with a class called SmtpMail - which under normal circumstances isn't available for use with Windows forms. It's meant for ASP.NET applications and can be found in the library System.Web.Mail namespace. All you've to do to make it work in your WinForm application is include a Reference to the file, System.Web.dll. This can be done by right-clicking on References in your Project explorer and clicking Add reference.

 

Once you've added this, use the following code to send mails out:

 

Imports System;Imports System.Web.Mail;Dim EmailTo As String     'Emailaddres for user to sendDim EmailFrom As String   'Emailaddres for user from Dim MailSubject As String 'Subject of MailDim MessageBody As String 'MessageDim ServerName As String  'Server Name - importantServerName = "<<Your SMTP server's Name>>"'Similarly, add in EmailTo, EmailFrom etc parameters hereEmailTo = "someone@recipient.net"EmailFrom = "me@mysqlf.net"........'Set the SMTP Server's addressSmtpMail.SmtpServer = ServerName'This is the code that sends out the email based on whatever server information you've set'Enclosed within Try-Catch block to catch exceptions in case of errorsTry	SmtpMail.Send (EmailFrom, EmailTo, MailSubject, MessageBody)Catch ex As Exception    MsgBox ( "Delivery Failure: " & ex.Source & ex.Message )End Try

Hope this helps...
