What’s the difference between aspNetEmail and System.Web.Mail?

The advantages of aspNetEmail over System.Web.Mail are too numerous to list, but here are some of the major differences. System.Web.Mail is simply a wrapper around CDONTS. When you call System.Web.Mail you are actually making an unmanaged call to CDONTS. aspNetEmail is totally written in C# and does not make any calls to any COM objects.
