I am new to VB . NET and have been teaching myself with significant success, however I still have a lot to learn.

I've attempted to look this up on my own, but I am faced with a recurring question. Is there a method in system.net.mail that will return the VB Application User's e-mail provider information?

The reason I ask is that all the documentation I have read seems to imply the the programmer or user has to input...

I am also new to VB .NET. Is There a VB method available that will return a an application users e-mail provider information, eliminating the need to input the SMTP Server IP information?

I am worrying about deployment. Many users of this application, including myself, find it difficult to lookup SMTP Information to provide to the application, in order to have the e-mail functionality work properly.
