      Name:='';
      Address:=''
    END;
    MSG.BccList.Add.Address:='';
    MSG.From.Name:='';
    MSG.From.Address:='';
    MSG.Body.Text:='';
    MSG.Subject:='';
    SMTP:=TIdSMTP.Create(NIL);
    TRY
      SMTP.Host:='x.x.x.x'; // IP Address of SMTP server
      SMTP.Port:=25; // Port address of SMTP service (usually 25)
      SMTP.Connect;
      TRY
        SMTP.Send(MSG)
      FINALLY
        SMTP.Disconnect
      END
    FINALLY
      SMTP.Free
    END
  FINALLY
    MSG.Free
  END;
.
