Sending an email through VB6

Question

I am wondering if there is a way to send an email (SMTP) through VB6. I have an application that just needs to send a simple email when the user is done to let a group know that

Answer 1

I found this here:

Dim UserName$, UserMail$, MailRecipiant$, MailBody$, SockData$

Private Sub Command1_Click()
UserName = "YourUserName_or_Addr"
UserMail = "Your Name "
MailRecipiant = UserMail
MailBody = "The message goes here"
Winsock1.LocalPort = 0
Winsock1.RemoteHost = "smtp-server"
Winsock1.RemotePort = 25
Winsock1.Connect
End Sub

Private Sub Winsock1_Connect()
Label1 = "Sending message..."
Winsock1.SendData "EHLO " & UserName & vbCrLf
If Not WaitFor("250") Then GoTo 100
Winsock1.SendData "MAIL FROM: " & UserMail & vbCrLf
If Not WaitFor("250") Then GoTo 100
Winsock1.SendData "RCPT TO: " & MailRecipiant & vbCrLf
If Not WaitFor("250") Then GoTo 100
Winsock1.SendData "DATA" & vbCrLf
If Not WaitFor("354") Then GoTo 100
Winsock1.SendData MailBody & vbCrLf & "." & vbCrLf
If Not WaitFor("250") Then GoTo 100
Winsock1.SendData "QUIT" & vbCrLf
If Not WaitFor("221") Then GoTo 100
Label1 = "Message sent"
GoTo 200
100
Label1 = SockData
200
Winsock1.Close
End Sub

Private Sub Winsock1_DataArrival(ByVal bytesTotal As Long)
Winsock1.GetData SockData
End Sub

Private Sub Winsock1_Error(ByVal Number As Integer, Description As String, ByVal Scode As Long, ByVal Source As String, ByVal HelpFile As String, ByVal HelpContext As Long, CancelDisplay As Boolean)
Label1 = "Error: " & Description
SockData = "Error"
Winsock1.Close
End Sub

Private Function WaitFor(SockResponse As String) As Boolean
Do While Left(SockData, 3) <> SockResponse And Left(SockData, 3) <> "220" And Left(SockData, 3) <> "250"
  DoEvents
  If Left(SockData, 3) > "400" Then Exit Function
Loop
WaitFor = 1
SockData = ""
End Function
