built-in SMTP component?

[Matt Brown - identify]

Hello,


I know this is a bit strange to be asking in the general windows xp
group, but... I was wondering if there is an SMTP component that comes
with or is a free download for Windows XP?

I know of other SMTP components (most of which aren't free), and I
figure why bother installing extra if there is one available in Windows
XP.


I know it's sort of a programming question, but I'm hoping an MVP or
someone can help me out. I just want to make a VBScript send me a text
message when someone unlocks my PC at home (I'll figure out that part
later).


Thanks,

Matt

Matt, try here and type in SMTP for the search. Also you could try the
VS2005 groups because I'm sure this is something others have worked on.

The first item looks quite interesting.

Cool... I was wondering how to implement it in vbscript.

Any ideas?


Thanks for the link,


Matt

If you get stuck with anything you will find many knowledgeable folks in the
VS2005 groups too, I can't help much with programming but it is quite likely
that someone has already done what you need and will be happy to help you
out.
