You could implement this pretty easily if you don't mind using an ActiveX control. (We haven't finished our .NET version yet)

SMTP Wizard has been tested in .NET applications and works great. You can use it on any OS, so you don't need to worry about CDO or MAPI at all. It communicates directly with SMTP servers and sends mail completely behind the scenes.

It is at least one alternative to thing about.
