Send Automatic Email in ASP.NET

[DS]

I would like my ASP.NET application to send email automatically. What are
the requirements to do that? Do I need SMTP installed on the Server where
my application website is installed? Also, if anyone can give me links to
any website that has more information on how email works with ASP.NET

Thanks

I plan to use the following in the global.asax's Application_Error procedure
to notify me of any application errors that are not business rule or database
related.

Dim message As New System.Web.Mail.MailMessage()
With message
.To = "devang777@hotmail.com"
.From = "mmayfield_NOSPAM@houston.rr.com"
.Subject = "Error # " & ex.Message
.Body = "DateTime: " & System.DateTime.Now.ToString & ControlChars.NewLine
_
& "InnerException: " & ex.InnerException.Message & ControlChars.NewLine
_
& "StackTrace: " & ex.StackTrace & ControlChars.NewLine _
& "Source: " & Context.Current.Request.Url.ToString
System.Web.Mail.SmtpMail.Send(message)
End With
