At some point you have to connect to the -remote- SMTP server to send the mail to its destination. That's the real issue here. If you can get that connectivity, you can either user sockets (might be non-trivial depending on how much functionality you need) or use one of the previous suggetions (might be a superset of what you need).

I would like the app to act as an SMTP server on it own, so I wouldn't have to connect to ours. I am not looking to be able to receive messages, just send, so I don't need it to act as a full email server, just to be able to send emails. BTW, thanks to everyone that has offered help to this point...
