SMTP CLASS

[SStory]

Is the SMTP class in .NET, as I suspect, dependent on CDONTS/CDOSYS?

If so, does anyone know of a really good free SMTP class that is easy to use
and does authentication?

Thanks,

Shane

Yes is it dependent on CDOSYS. As for a free SMTP class, search Google for
one. Remember that CDOSYS is installed by default on every Windows 2000 and
later system.

Remember that CDOSYS is installed by default on every Windows 2000 and

later system.

Remember that CDOSYS is installed by default *only* on every Windows 2000
and
later system. And cannot be installed on by instance W98/ME.

Go to www.gotdotnet.com. Click on "user samples", and search for SMTP.
There's a number of entries. I would think at least one of them would work
for you.

I have seen this question raised a few times. What is the concern
about CDOSYS?

My colleague is telling me that there is no way to do authentication and no
way to see if the message was successfully sent.

Is this true or is he missing something.

..NET's SMTP class supports authentication since .NET 1.1:
