Marina,
would I be right in saying that I cannot have a generic name for the SMTP
server on the local computer, such as "Localhost"?
I have tried to send these automatic e-mails using my AOL account, but that
didn't work. I had to get a BT Internet account in order for this to work.
If any of the users have AOL, the application would be useless.
I need to find a way to be able to send the e-mails automatically regardless
of the ISP provider and preferably without having to ask for the user's
e-mails address.
If this is not possible, I will have to get the e-mail addresses in advance,
but I am hopeful of a solution...

Well, the laptop doesn't have an email address. The user does, and neither
the laptop nor your application has any way of just knowing what it is.
You need to have some sort of configuration page in your app, where the user
has to provide his/her email address.

news:67**********************************@microsof t.com...I am writing a web application will will be hosted on a few peoples laptops
as a local application. It will send e-mails once the user connects to
the
internet.
How can I set up the "Mail.From" field if I don't know the address of the
user's laptop? I have managed to get it working on my own machine, but
setting the "From" filed to "Localhost" doesn't seem to work.
Any suggestions?
