Sending E-Mail Without a Component
Written by Eric Smith, Northstar Computer Systems LLC
A user asked recently if there was any way to send e-mail without using a component to do it. Unfortunately, the answer to this is no. The problem is that if you wanted to do this, you would have to make your own socket connection to the other server and talk the SMTP protocol. However, ASP doesn't include the ability to call the network connection APIs to do this. You could use a socket component to create a socket to the other server and then send the e-mail that way, but if you're using a component to do that, you may as well just use the e-mail component that's provided.
