how to send an Email using C/C++
can anybody tell me how to simply send email using C/C++ Console Application on windows platform.. I hv tried gmail smtp without the Auth but its not working properly.. here is the code I have tried... If you guys hv working code instead of this pls put it here.. thanks a lot.
SMTP log file says..
Code:
The IP you're using to send mail is not authorized to send email directly to our servers. Please use the SMTP relay at your service provider instead. Learn more at http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=quit
relevant part of code
Code:
#include <windows.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <winuser.h>
#include <windowsx.h>
#include <time.h>
/*If you don't know the mail exchange server for an address for the following
"nslookup -querytype=mx gmail.com" but replace gmail.com with the domain for
whatever email address you want. YOU MUST CHANGE THESE SETTINGS OR
IT WILL NOT WORK!!! */
