EMail thru code without using MS Outlook as sender

I have a group of people I send mass emails thru via my hotmail account. Can I somehow, thru VB code, send emails out to everyone WITHOUT going thru MS Outlook? If possible, I'd like to send it from my hotmail account, but if not, I'd at least like to send email without all the messages ending up in my "Sent Items" of MS Outlook since that's not the email address I want to send them thru.

Look in the tutors cornet on directions on how to use the STMP Hotmail service. Thats another way of sending mail w/o outlook

I'm not sure if you can sign into your hotmail account using Telnet, I would assume you can. I'll have a play now and check, but you should be able to do your bulk mailing without signing in, cos its possible to specify who the mail is from.

u dont need to. With STMP you supply the persons e-mail you want it to be from, which you put in yours.
