//  To connect through an HTTP proxy, set the HttpProxyHostname
//  and HttpProxyPort properties to the hostname (or IP address)
//  and port of the HTTP proxy.  Typical port numbers used by
//  HTTP proxy servers are 3128 and 8080.

//  traffic to pass.  Otherwise this does not work.

//  Some SMTP servers do not actually send the email until 
//  the connection is closed.  In these cases, it is necessary to
//  call CloseSmtpConnection for the mail to be  sent.  
//  Most SMTP servers send the email immediately, and it is 
//  not required to close the connection.  We'll close it here
//  for the example:
nSuccess := oMailman:CloseSmtpConnection()
