I remembered I asked a similar question a little while back when I was developing the application in the first place. Looking at Blat again I realised why I had not taken it any further - basically it assumes a level of knowledge that I don't possess. I did however find a demo programme from Alan Bourke using Essmtp.ocx based on an article in Craig Boyd's blog which gave me all the detail I needed. It works on my system, I now need to try it at my client's place.
Many thanks to all concerned for your help, particularly Alan and Craig Boyd.
