sending e-mail in VB.NET

[Massimo Zaccarin]

ok... I've done a test and.... it doesn't work under Win98
I'm writing a class that use sockets and it seems to work (I haven't tested
it hardly)

Thanks for your answer, but I am not totaly convinced, I do not know if I
will test it.


That I thought that it was and why could that not be in a W'98, XP home or
even a special made Linux Net environment.

IMO it shouldn't be the problem to reimplement the classes for Linux or
an older Windows version -- but it's a lot of work.

Now I can add Fergus with that sample.

But it is no alternative for webmail.

I write the alternative at Jay B's thread.

I read it...

Can you tell me if you are 100% sure that the connect component cannot run
on W'98?

It is not on W98 as it only ships with W2K, WinXP & Windows Server 2003.

The following site only says Windows XP, while the .NET docs say XP Pro.

I do not have XP Home to verify if CDOSYS ships with it or not, I will ask
my fellow Outlook MVPs.

This page explicitly states not available on Windows 98!

even a special made Linux Net environment.

Remember CDOSYS is an implementation detail. When System.Web.Mail.SmtpMail
is ported to Linux, it could be implemented with Sockets or a "native" Linux
SMTP library, instead of CDOSYS.

Hope this helps
Jay

Hi Massimo,

Based on my research, SmtpMail uses CDOSYS behind. CDOSYS is not available
on Windows 98.
You may take a look at the link below.

Hi Massimo,

As I said in my previous post, since the SMTPMail class will use the
CDOSYS.dll shipped from windows 2000, it will not work on windows 98.
So you have to do the issue yourself or use an third party tool. As
Herfried said, you may try to automation outlook to achieve your aim, but
you can not guarantee that all the customers who will use your program will
have outlook installed

If you have any concern on this issue, please post here.
