Hello Everyone,

i have a question in regards to sending mail via asp.net.

i am creating a web application that will, on clicking the submit button, send an email with a picture attachment to a distribution list. i know that i can easily send mail using the System.Web.Mail namespace but what if the person doesnt have a default SMTP service set up? is it possible to specify another SMTP service on another server to relay the messages through? i think i have done something similar in the past but i ran into a few security issues.

is it possible to send an email without relying on SMTP? i have read a few ways to do this (using a service called BLAT) but it seems to cumbersome to really do efficiently, is there a way to do this through code?

i am a bit stuck at the moment, as there are a few people suggesting a few different ways to do it, but i dont think that they are the best ways, can anyone help me out?

regards
adam
