    Of course it is.

    Ask yourself what language these softwares are most likely to be written in....
    The answer should be obvious.

    That depends, do you still have that "TurboC" millstone around your neck holding you back/down/under (as appropriate)?
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    Can you give me Some hint About the Program's code ??
    I heard that Call to system() can do it easily.
    And Is it possible to Create the SMTP server via C program ??

    Sure...
    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    
    int main (void)
      {
    
        // insert rest of code here
    
         return 0;
    }
    Really... hit Google, do some searching... I promise you there are lots of examples out there.

    @Gaurav Singh
    Are you still using TurboC 0 - yes or no.
    It's a simple question that you're not answering.

    Come back when your answer is NO, I am not using TurboCrap any more.

    Probably not some third rate compiler whose idea of optimization is causing bugs. You just got to look at the most recent changelog to realise this:
    •Fixed C runtime problem with memmove() for overlapping buffers
    Seriously? It took 6 and a half versions to be able to use memmove for pretty much it's only usage, and you're trusting your code to this guy when VS is free to use and GCC and Clang/LLVM are open source too?

    Might be better than Turbo C, but just barely.

    Step 1 is install a decent compiler!

    haven't you figured that much out yet?

    Are you seriously expecting one of us to write you an SMTP server in C?
