I am writing a console app to perform CGI functions. I wanted to use the
NMSMTP component to mail the form attribute/value pairs to a recipient, much
the way the FormMail perl script does.

However, NMSMTP's constructor requires a TComponent as the NMSMTP
component's owner. There doesn't appear to be a way to do this, and
constructing it with *nil* gives an access violation.

Is this possible, and if so how?

I can set up a separate Windows program/service to act as an "SMTP server",
or start a separate program to send each message, but this seems pretty
clunky.

Anyone have any bright ideas?

TIA, will be much appreciated

I have done this before with the Andreas H?rstemeier's TCP/IP component
suite SMTP component. I had to mosify the source to be able to create it with
nil as the owner but I did get it working. I'll see if I can drag that up and
send it to
you off-group.
