Using SMTP to send email - the only way?

Hi,

I was able to send email via the server in both .NET and ASP (using CDO for ASP). However I had to configure a SMTP server for this to work, which means the email will be sent via the server's SMTP service. so this could mean a lot of overload on the server. So as to reduce the work on the server, is there another way to send email to people?

SMTP is pretty much it for Internet email.
