1. Can anyone name a free/open smtp server that i can use while testing out my program? I'd use my own but my ISP has blocked it.
2. Instead of writing a sendmail client could you connect to a server and use sendnetworkstring() to specify whom you want to send the message to?
for example:
opennetworkconnection(x,y)
sendnetworkstring("mail to:
me@here.com")
?
Thank ye,

1.:
You could download an smtp server program from nonags.com (cool freeware site), and set it up.
2.:
Using sendnetworkstring() and all that stuff is programming the client
i send an mail from Pegasus to myself. I had an watc on the connection between my mail server and my client program. here:

Sorry, I didn't quite understand what you were saying in the last half of your message - will using sendnetworkstring() work?

I just show communication between an smtp server and an client.
If you look at the communication, you can see how the client tells the server to send mail.
