Armin,
>that's correct! But I personally prefer mailing directly via an SMTP server from an unattended application. I don't really trust those mail clients :) It's some kind of horror if I imagine that a message like "A program is trying to send a mail on your behalf ..." or something similar comes up on a server after installing a Service Pack < g >.
So you'd rather take the silent virus approach to sending unlogged email via a backdoor... *bg*
