Hi Guy (and everyone who is listening!!!)

While I was looking for the doc, I found a code sample of how to use Winsock to send mail. As you will, it is close to the code you paste me. I have tried this sample and it works very well.

You can be sure that I will remember this one!!! And I hope that everyone will copy it because it is very simple to bypass MAPI (for users which are always connected to the Net).

Here it is:
