Hi,

do you want to know how to send emails from your application that you created with VWDE or do you want to know how you can make use of functionality inside of VWDE to send mails? That's not very clear. The latter I would say no at first glance. For the application part: yes that's simply ASP.NET and .NET has the capabilities for that: http://systemnetmail.com/faq/3.1.2.aspx.

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, i was wondering if it was possible to setup the local server attached to VWDE to send Email message to my yahoo ISP account.

I note that i am able to configure SMTP settings in the Administration wizard.

Hi,

What do you mean setup the local server attached to VWDE?

It will connect to the specify mail host and send the email.

If you want to use the IIS SMTP, please refer to:

# Config the Server SMTP IIS to send Mail

Is my thinking correct. That you need a relay server installed such as IIS to instruct a SMTP server to forward messages?

Much appreciated

Hi,

To configure and use the SMTP server will avoid many issues.

You also could just use the code to send the email (System.Net.Mail or other library).

Thanks
