.NET email

[S Shulman]

Hi All

I don't have smtp server and my email is hotmail and I am looking for smtp
server so I will be able to send emails using .NET.
Is there any server out there that I can use?

Thank you in advance,
Shmuel

S Shmuel,

I am not sure of this, however is this not a kind of hacking?

Isn't that what spammers are looking for?

And preferably a server in a land without any kind of legislation about the
internet ...

My question is really quite simple. Is there a way of sending email using
..NET email functionality without having SMTP server installed on th client's
machine I think this is quite simple.

Have a look at the links Ken provided, there are as far as I know not much
alternatives on that.

Yea, but there are legitimate reasons for wanting it too.
