Hello all

it depends on your need...what kind of smtp you will access...
with simple knowledge on socket programming you can make your own...
check here:http://stackoverflow.com/questions/58210/c-smtp-example
if you are looking serious lib, try this: http://www.vmime.org/
ok i found socket++ that is what i was looking for
but now i need simple but freeware email server
do you know something good ?
when i created my own, i used this one: http://www.softstack.com/freesmtp.html
it isn't free, it is demo software, you can only post five mails per day...
i installed it in local...
so i have my pc as my own smtp server...
This one is also good, but i've never used it: http://www.postcastserver.com/
when dealing with smtp, there is an issue that you take care: "authentication" ...
by using your local as smtp server, you won't need to deal with this auth issue...
it's much easier...
then you can also use: yahoo mail and gawab mail... they both using plain auth (base64 encoding)...try googling about auth protocol on smtp server...
different with gmail, it s using tls socket,you must learn about openssl or gnu tls...
try local first...that's my suggestion...
Postfix? It's probably the most widely used SMTP server. Not sure if it has a Windows version, though.
hi umen242...
sorry for giving you advice without knowing what your platform is...
You absolutely don't need any "smtp client", which has no sense at all.
SMTP is a protocol.
You just have to follow RFC and use Sockets (Winsock for Windows)
15 lines of copy-paste code to send an email...
A few lines more for attachment in base64
50 000 samples on Google or Google Groups...

He is now asking for a SMTP server to presumably test his program against.
