Sending Mail using dotNET

Hi Guys
Another quick question please.  I understand that to send mail using .NET I
need to install the SMTP server.  I have two XP Home edition machines here
and neither of them show IIS in add/remove windows components.  Do I need
to do something else first to get this available or could someone point me
to where I might find it thanks

I am using SP2 on one machine and SP1 on the other

As far as I know, IIS is by default not available on XP-home, you have to
have XP-prof, but you could also use your internet serviceprovider smtp, so
no need to install a smtp server on one of your computers.

Not even as legal addition.

Is it illegal if you use your internet serviceproviders' smtp?
I didn't know this :-S

Is it illegal to write my own SMTP server and use it on Windows XP Home?!

Herfried,

I saw that I did write it not right I answered first with IIS and in my last
I typed SMTP, it was an answer on Peter, I thought most people would
understand it.

However as addition, there is Cassini, where  AFAIK is not smtp "standard"
included.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/03/01/cuttingedge/

And because I know that, I probably switched to SMTP, however I did not
write that.

I hope this clears it.

Peter,

Now you set me before it. There are providers who have locked this. This is
the best mechanism to sent spam.

I was writing this in my first message, however I deleted that text. My text
was only about standard Microsoft IIS on non Professional and Server
Editions.

I get the idea I need a balance to write my text here.

:-)

Cor, my ;-) to you in my previous post was a friendly and smiling ;-)
I know what you wanted to say but I misunderstood you, I didn't mean to
offend you with it.
So no need for a balance to write text :-)

I had not one 100-nanosecond the idea that you wanted to offend me.
I was smiling as well.

Hi Cor,

I thought  so, but that's one thing I find a bit negative about mails/posts
in general, sometimes  you offend someone without wanting to or you think
someone offends you but you just misread the message, I guess spoken
newsgroups would solve that problem lol

:-)

Peter,

I am originaly a "Jordanees" (Amsterdam) so you probably know how good I
have to watch in these newsgroups and still have a lot of times that people
think that I offend them, while it is just a game with words that I have
learned when I was young.

The best communication for me is
when you smell the other
Than when you see the other
Than when you hear the other
And at last when you read a message from another

In addition every culture has its own way of telling things and mostly how
further how worser that from bottom up goes.

Cor,

I get what you mean about the different cultures and the word games and
you're right but luckly I'm from Belgium, so that isn't to much of a culture
gap :-)
Btw you've got nice a sequence of communication ;-)
