    System commands are slow, and I don't think there are any system commands for it.

    If you have DJGPP I think you can use sockets, do a search on Yahoo for Sockets C Tutorial. I found a good one a while ago. You connect to the SMTP server and do "HELO" and all that crap. There is a tutorial on SMTP at http://www.astalavista.com in the tutorial libraries (though that site is more hacking orientated).

    It's actually quite simple once you copy the code from the socket tutorial.

    okay I found the direct links.

    SMTP Tutorial
    http://www.astalavista.com/library/p...tutorial.shtml

    Sockets Tutorial
    http://www.cs.rpi.edu/courses/sysprog/sockets/sock.html

    Just bundle the two together, and you can send email

    Here's a simpler tutorial on sockets, the last one was pretty advanced
