The only reasonably reliable method is to use the DirectEmail Xtra from www.directxtras.com (there are some other free ways to attack the problem - but I don't recommend them).
This is definitely your best bet, but even w/the Xtra you'll need to be aware of Port 25 blocking issues (many ISPs block users from sending email through any mailserver but their own).
One option is to allow the user the option of entering their own mailserver to avoid the Port 25 issue. Much more on this in the excellent and comprehensive DirectEmail documentation.
I agree. The other reasonable option is to use a server-side script and SendMail on the server. Simply have your Director app "postNetText" to the script, and let your (or your client's) server do the work.
The port 25 blocking thing is a real thorn, and it is pretty arguable whether or not it actually achieves its intended purpose. But there you are.
