mail from vb.net app using mscorlib

Hi,

I'm trying to make an application that can send an e-mail using the mscorlib dll. I don't want to use system.web.mail. Can anybody steer me in the right direction? Thanks.

Ok, I found this (http://www.aspemporium.com/howto.aspx?hid=25) How to. I tried this, but I can't connect to the server.

I'm trying to connect to the server of my internet provider. But the application states "there is no such server". I know the address (smtp.hccnet.nl) and port number (25) are correct. I probably need to login as well, but I think that's the next step.]

Does anybody have any clues as to why it can't find the server?

I can reach my providers website and from outlook I can reach the mailserver.

Thanks,

Aren't you simply behind a (SP2) firewall that blocks the call?

Could be (but not a local FW, I'm not running any). It's a small app that will send some emails based on information it gets from a SQL Server DB.

The problem solved itself when my boss realized it would be much easier to use the System.Web.Mail classes (I wasn't allowed to use them at first). It works fine now...
