does anyone know if you can actually send emails with XP pro. Not to just someone on the local network I’m talking from my host machine to say and [Yahoo.com](http://Yahoo.com) or [hotmail.com](http://hotmail.com) address. I have a project and I’d prefer to host it myself, and I need to be able to send emails from my hosting machine. PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN!!! I’m running XP pro and Coldfusion if that helps
