It's somewhat ugly, but should get the job done with minimum fuss.

Thanks, But I thought there was an option to send emails with smtp in C++. I guess C++ is limited.

Actually C++ is one of the most unlimited languages. Ok so it may not have email sending functions built in, but if you took that attitude then noone would use it for anything since functionality comes from libraries (which are often written in C++). If you wanted to do this manually i suggest looking up the RFC for SMTP (as mentioned already) which will show you the packet structure that you need to send to mail servers.

What have you tried? What libraries did you download? Where did you get stuck? What did not work? I have used a number of C++ libraries in my day and have yet to find one that did not come with some form of documentation. It may not have a full on hold-your-hand-start-to-finish tutorial, but it will at least have a README file that explains any set up instructions, and then comments in the source code to help you figure out how to use it.
C++ is a pretty low level language. You can do anything you want to with it, including create email sending functionality. The problem is, you have to write the code yourself. There is no built-in SendEmail() function. You can build such a function by writing the underlying network code and then using SMTP. But unless you are just trying to learn how email systems work, you should use a language that has email capability. Maybe if you explain what you are trying to do, someone can suggest a language more suitable for your project.
Looking at your other post, if you want SQL and email capability, why don't you use PHP? Why do you insist on using C++? If you want help, why don't you start helping us by explaining the problem *completely*. That means outline the steps that *you* have already tried, and where you are getting stuck. Let us understand what you are doing and why it has to be done in C++. It seems like you keep posting the same kinds of questions and getting the same answers. I only tell you this because it is the kind of pattern that will eventually get you completely ignored. If that is not your goal, then help us help you.
