-'''''Why SMTP?'''''
-MAPI email works fine from within VDF, but if using Outlook or Outlook Express, it can be quite annoying, especially if the email is sent automatically from a background program like a service.  The problem is that it wants to be sure that the email being sent is not from a Trojan horse or some other hidden program and will pop up a message asking if the message is being sent by “you”.  When being sent from a service, that’s a killer, as you will not know why your application just halts.  This can supposedly be turned off if using Outlook Express as your mail client, but not with Outlook.  There are some third party products that can help with this, but using SMTP seems to just be much easier.
