If Outlook Express cannot be automated through COM, you are in abind. 
Maybe you should shange your tactics.

What about just fetching the settings from the client?

That way the send function will be the same, and you can control it. But 
the server settings could be fetched from the different clients.

It is probably much simpler to find those than it is to use them as the 
sender.

Most email clients can fetch the settings from other mail clients, so 
it's been done before.
