What Jeff said holds, ie. use the same means to send (smtp in your application or call local sendmail program or something). The only addition for webmail apps is if you want to, eg., automatically save a copy in a Sent folder, you would probably need to do direct database insertion for that. In weDBmail we originally handled this by adding a header tag to the message that needs to go to Sent and just looked for that when you load your Inbox and move it to Sent then - it's a lot cleaner just to have your app save the data directly. > Is there a adressbook implemented in DBmail or should I just make the table > my self? There is nothing in dbmail for this currently. There has been mention of plans to make dbmail fully compatible with an exchange server, though - anyone know if exchange servers have address books? If so, and that plan is supported by IC&S, it'd probably be quite possible to get something put into dbmail itsself because it both would be necessary and I would guess is fairly trivial (for the moment, it just amounts to writing a table and distributing it w/ dbmail ... the server support can come later).
