Check out this guy attempt to send mail in .Net. Even if .Net shipped without a System.Web.Mail namespace, it would be easier to just write an SMTP client from scratch.

Just so you would get it, this guy is simulating user input on a server to send mail via outlook. Because of outlook 2003 security feature, this guy purchased a third party commercial application called ClickYes that click yes for outlook security dialogs.

WTF!!!

The really scary thing is that this ClickYes application has a server version. This is scary.
