i want to know one more thing, is necessary that the local machine on the networks needs to have smtp server on its own, or is it enough if its connected in the network to send an email.

mmcdoconfig.Fields("Smtpserver") = "smtp.hotpop.com"
mmcdoconfig.Fields("smtpserverport") = 25
mmcdoconfig.Fields("Username") = "raj_itengg@HotPOP.com"
mmcdoconfig.Fields("Password") = "abcdef1"
mmcdoconfig.Fields("SendemailAddress") = from_email
mgcdomsg.Subject = val4
mgcdomsg.MimeFormatted = True.
i tried to do like this but it was not working becaz i have stopped my smtp in my local machine. when it started the smtp in my machin it went. i guess, server is not getting connected?

whats the actual prob?
