Bret,
You would just have a setup screen where the user or installer inputs the needed info, just as they would have to do to setup Outlook or any other email program. Store that to a table, and grab them to stuff into the properties just before sending.

>>Most ISP's will reject your attempts to send through their server if the sender email address is not one of their valid accounts. You might could make special arrangements with a small ISP to send emails using a sender address other than your account.

>>If running on your own server with its own internet connection (not dialup), you could install the default NT SMTP service and point to it, or point to a server you have running Exchange Server.

>Thanks for the reply. I would like to use this wwip stuff, but I cant control who the user will be sending to or who is using my program. So the mail hub is important. I cant just put Crane's mail hub as the world-wide distribution of the program (military) would mean that anyone would be using it and Crane would not recognize everyone using it.
