Thumbs up Email from VBScript or Visual Basic?

How to send an email from Visual Basic or VBScript? I want to send from Windows 2000, Windows NT and Windows 98 computer. I don't want to use IIS SMTP gateway, I want to communicate directly to an SMTP server. Please help.

Can't do it from VBScrript without a third-party component. You need sockets to be able to talk to an SMTP server (since it's basically a telnet session to port 25).

For an example VB application / how-to, check this site http://www.vbip.com/winsock/index.asp.

Hope this helps...
