  Your user needs to provide a mail server to use, otherwise the rest can be done entirely in code.  The URL below goes to a page with an example

  I have no idea, I don't use yahoo mail.  Why don't you go to their website and find out That's assuming they offer an SMTP server.  A free mail site is unlikely to offer this, your ISP is the one who should offer you use of an SMTP server.
  
  Much as I prefer to encourage people to look stuff up for themselves, I looked it up for you:
  
  smtp.mail.yahoo.com
  
  Of course, you need to provide a valid username/password to validate your right to use the server, or it will fail.

  Use the mail server that your ISP provides, instead of the yahoo one.

  I have a valid username/password. Im not sure how to specify that programmatically. Would that be in the headers of the email message or somewhere else
  
  I have not found an example where a userName/Password is specified
  
  Thanks

  Hmm... you're right.  Your mail server with yahoo is going to require one, I am sure, but you're right that I can't see anywhere that you can specify them.  Generally an ISP requires a username/password only if you're not logged in to the web using that ISP, it's only webmail that will have the issue.

  well, all i want from the user is thier comments. the email information can be hard coded much like the sample I have below. I think I have the stmp server value wrong, but im not sure what it is. How do I find the correct stmp server
  
  

  Private Sub SubmitButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles SubmitButton.Click

  Dim email As New System.Web.Mail.MailMessage

  Try

  email.To = "mcsdhunter@yahoo.com"

  email.From = "mcsdhunter@yahoo.com"

  email.Body = Me.RichTextBox1.Text

  email.Subject = "Application Issue"

  email.BodyFormat = Web.Mail.MailFormat.Text

  System.Web.Mail.SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "http://us.f329.mail.yahoo.com"

  System.Web.Mail.SmtpMail.Send(email)

  Catch ex As System.Web.HttpException

  MsgBox(ex.ToString)

  End Try

   

   

  End Sub

  the code im trying to write will email a message from my email address to my email address. so the smtp address will be constant. (although in my code, I have it incorrect). The user will simply supply comments into a rich textbox and click a button on a windows form to submit the comments to me. what is the correct smtp addess for yahoo mail
  
  
  
  
  thanks

  Every user is going to have their own SMTP server, based on who they connect through.  You can't anticipate or discover this, you need to ask for it, then store it so they don't have to enter it every time.
