Hi Dan, Yes, it is easy to do if you want to use your ISP, but what if you don't want to use your ISP. Why send an email from (say) you to me via a 3rd party? Why give yuor ISP the ability to read your emails. What if your ISP doesn't operate when you move overseas on business or holidays (ie, block certain countries). What if you have different clients and do not want to use your ISP but want to use theirs and they are all different? With LocalSMTPServer you can now send it from within your App using VBA once they have set up IIS and localhost. And that is what I have just done (with a little help from my friends).
