Question

I want to send an email using javascript without using the outlook. I don’t want to use mailto object which use outlook for sending email.

Is there any direct method provided by JavaScript to send the data submitted in the form to an email address.

Answer 1

Kinda. At least, you have the possibility to do the following:

Via JavaScript, you can make a call to a server-based service which can dispatch an e-mail via SMTP. Whether this call is made via a simple form submission to your own server or via an XmlHttpRequest to a remote service is only a matter of a) whether you will implement it yourself and b) whether you’re able to find a service elsewhere.

tl;dr:

• JavaScript itself cannot dispatch e-mails
• However, you can make JavaScript call a service which is able to “talk” SMTP.
