sending email through program
What OS? What mail server? What exactly are you trying to do? If you have an SMTP server address, you can connect to it and send SMTP commands to send an E-mail. Is this to only run on one PC (E.g. a server of some sort), or is it to run on any PC?

There's vaious libraries about that you can probably use, or you could do it yourself by opening a network connection to your SMTP server and sending the mail that way. If I were you, I'd google for "C++ SMTP library" or something.

Quote:Original post by asdfweYes, by getting a library that someone's already written. Sending E-mail a case of connecting to the correct mail server (For simplicities sake, it's much easier to connect to your ISPs mail server and use that to relay the E-mail), and communicating with the server to send the e-mail.

An example transation might go like so (Any line beginning with a number is sent by the server):
220 mc9-f15.hotmail.com Microsoft ESMTP MAIL Service, Version: 5.0.2195.6824 ready at Sun, 18 Apr 2004 06:34:34 -0700HELO Someone or other250 mc9-f15.hotmail.com Hello [82.41.45.74]MAIL FROM: YourSourceAddres@YourDomain.com250 YourSourceAddres@YourDomain.com....Sender OKRCPT TO: someonehotmail.com250 someonehotmail.comDATA354 Please start mail input.I like pie.Yum.But not floorpei.250 Mail queued for delivery.QUIT221 Closing connection. Good bye.Sending mail is a lot more complicated than just calling a function (Unless youre using another library to do it for you), since it involves betworking.

However, as I said, googling for an SMTP library may be quicker and easier.
