I develop an ADSI program in Visual Basic which interacts with Active
Directory
and occasionally sends email to various groups who need to be notified of
changes or issues. I have been using CDO which dispatches email via SMTP.
When developing in XP, I had SMTP on XP equivalent to SMTP on the server,
where the program would run. This was great! Now I build and test in
Vista,
which now has no SMTP. So the whole development model breaks down. Not
so
great!
Is there a solution for the missing SMTP service? I prefer not to install
some non-native version of SMTP on my Vista machine. I prefer not to put
special code into the
programs either.
