Our VB applications are already set up on users' PC, and those having
a firewall that checks outgoing connections are already set up to
allow outgoing connections. I'm just adding a new feature to this
existing application so that they can send us a message right from our
app instead of having to use an e-mail client (which most of them
don't have any experience with anyway).

So... the VB app uses the MSWinsock OCX to connect to our web server
and call a PHP script that just reads in the $_POST parameters, and
sends an e-mail with those to support@acme.com . Nothing fancy, and
it's all we need.
