If you are needing to add outgoing mail to your Web-based work, then you might be surprised to hear that Lazy Mail is one of the easiest ways of doing this.

Lazy Mail is the easiest way for programmers to add outgoing email capabilities to their programs. Lazy Mail is completely self-contained, so there are no installation hassles, no dependence on MAPI or Outlook, no security warnings from overprotective email systems, and no support hassles. It communicates directly with any SMTP email server (the standard for outgoing email). It makes it so easy to send email from your programs that you can take off early and head to the beach! One of the simplest and most effective programming tools that you can have.

And guess what? You can send an email with a single line of code! There’s no learning curve, no problems, no support headaches - it just works!
Version 1.0 supports sending SMTP emails with plain text bodies, subject lines, multiple recipients, a single attachment, and a single bcc recipient.

Lazy Mail is now in distribution in the form of an ActiveX DLL that can be freely redistributed. You can use it from programs written in Visual Basic, Visual C++, any of the .NET languages, and even VBA (Excel, Word) and ASP. The cost of a full license for this very convenient tool is just $25 US!

Lazy Mail comes with a freely-reusable Visual Basic demo application, complete with source, that you can alter and use in your own code. [Read the rest]
