Why don't you create a single no-reply user account on whatever email server you're using, and when the users click "tell a friend", you can form the email (using the user's name in the subject line), and send the email from the common user account, and they don't have to enter ANYTHING, including their user Id or the email account password. All they have to do is click the button, and the web page does the rest for them.

but the customers who are not ready to give their password.
It's not the personal passwords that are required. It's the password of exchange server that you need to configure in your application known to Admins only.

All you need is to configure the email settings properly and allow users to use it. Personal username-passwords not needed. You can even send mails from a 'From' emailid that does not exists.

If needed, have a look at this Microsoft Video tutorial:
Use ASP.NET to send Email from Website[^]

John's way is correct, this is the way all sites work really.

e.g

C#

public void sendmailto_Deal(string from, string to, string body)
{
    MailMessage m = new MailMessage();
    SmtpClient sc = new SmtpClient();
    try
    {
        m.From = new MailAddress("no-reply@yourserver.com");
        m.To.Add(new MailAddress(to, "displayname"));

        m.Subject = string.Format("YourApplicationName - New email from {0}!", from);
        m.IsBodyHtml = true;
        m.Body = body;
        sc.Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
        sc.Port = 587;
        sc.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("xxx", "xxx"); // Whatever *your* email server settings are, NOT the users settings
        sc.EnableSsl = true;
        sc.Send(m);
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
    }
}
