Well if they do not want to install IIS, how do they plan to send e-mail? Something has to be installed/running in order to send e-mail. Do they have an SMTP server? If so, then you should be able to set up an "Options" form for them so they can put in IP address of the server, as well as User ID and Password [if needed]. Then you can use that with West-Wind to send the e-mail. You can test this using your own personal ISP account with WW.

>We are planning on using the WestWind Client Tools in order to send email (via smtp) from our vfp7 application. As a test, I configured our mail server (MS Exchange 5.5) to allow for relaying from my workstation...using my IP address. This worked great. However, since our IP's are dynamically assigned in the office....the relaying doesn't work anymore because my IP address has changed.

I need to run this by our network admin. Also, I don't know if our customers would be willing to do this. Someone suggested using the smtp service built in to IIS. This won't work in our case as our customers do not want to install IIS on the workstations or servers.
