e-mail in c++

Adblock

hey im am wondering dose anyone know if it is possible to send an email in a c++ program. I dont want to use any VB.net crap in fact no .Net..just plain and simple c++.

steps
make a string put this in a mail and send it..i am wondering is there an STL standard for this or do i really have to use c#

also this will be running on a desktop with internet access.but do i need a server to send this once the code in in the c++ program. ie when u click on the exe will it just send the mail or do u need a special environment. because i intend to run this exe on more than 1 pc so i need it to be portiable

anyway thats it any help would be great..

Ya cos C# has been around so long, all Email Clients were written in it. :rolleyes:

I would imagine you would send the email to your ISP outgoing Mail server. no special envirment needed if you use standard C++;

Heres a link to get you started the source is available in a link at the bottem of the page.

You might find using CDO via COM the simplest option.
