SMTP engineI have no idea where to start with this question or even if it is right for this forum. But here goes. Q. My client has a standalone system that does not have outlook express or outlook installed. They want me to do the following. 1. Identify the error the system creates and depending on the type of error their system creates take the necessary action.(already done) 2. if the action requires rebooting the machine - that is taken care of. However if the action is to email the user an email message with the specific error i am stuffed as they don't use outlook express or outlook. Does anyone know how to create a smtp engine that will allow me to send specific information )(ie. user information, system error, location, etc). If anyone can point me to some samples that would be great. TIA Justin Use CDOSYS to send an SMTP mail.

Hence, if that system has
IIS then your job is a lot easier. Otherwise, you need to use CDOSYS (which is a standard component) and configure it to use a remote mail server. If you do have a local SMTP service then you can also use CDONTS. This is specific to that local service (i.e. it cannot be configured to use a remote service) and is a bit easier to get going. It's not a standard component but it is redistributable.

Unfortunately this app is going into a kiosk machine with a very scaled down version of windows. I like the idea of both cdosys and the free smtp engine.
