Your Server

Send email with vb.net without using an smtp server?

How can I send an email from vb.net without using an smtp server ex: smtp.gmail.com Is there a way to make the program send emails directly without having to go through the smtp server? Thanks guys :)

1. SMTP is the protocol for sending emails across the Internet. You can't get around it. You really have no choice - whether you host your own SMTP server or use one like gmail's, you'll have to use one eventually.
2. Every program uses SMTP. Regards, Dane
