Need a free SMTP client ActiveX control

[NogginBoink]

You'd think this would be something easy to find, but all the "free downloads" that I've found are free 30-day trial versions.

I just need a simple SMTP email sender that I can call from VBScript to send me the results of my backup jobs.

If anyone has a pointer to a suitable product I'd be quite grateful if you could pass it on.

Create an instance of the the MAPI ActiveX control.

But doesn't that use the user's mail settings? The vbscript is going to be running under the context of a user that doesn't have an email client set up.

Are you running server-side technologies? PHP? ASP? CFM?

can you connect thru Winsock to Port 25 of a server? The commands for sending emails are really easy:

MAIL FROM: sender@mail.com
RCPT TO: recipient@mail.com
DATA
your
text
here
.




This will send an E-Mail and that's all you need. I'm nearly sure you can make such a connection with Winsock. It's been awhile since I last used VB.
