I have tried ASP.Net, System.Net namespace but I need to read all the server and mail settings from any config file. After I got sharepoint’s own mechanism to send mail.

SPUtility.SendEmail(SPContext.Current.Site.OpenWeb(), false, false, "admin@myserver.com", "Hello World", "This is a Sample Mail");

This will send a mail to “admin@myserver.com”, with “Hello World” as subject and “This is a Sample Mail” as body. You can send HTML emails by changing the third parameter to TRUE.

Update : You may need to use SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges method to send mails.

This method enable users to Execute the specified method with Full Control rights even if the user does not otherwise have Full Control.
