Where can I find a library that will let me send mail via C? I *do not* want to use a default-installed MDA; that makes me dependant on a user having a certain MDA installed. I want to have a function like so:
send_message("to","headers","message");
...that I can call from a C/C++ program to be compiled under GCC. Is this possible? If so, where can I find such a library?

why don't you dig into RFC http://www.rfc-editor.org and read the rfc for the mail sending part it's really very simple
write a small socket program that connects to your smtp server (port 25) and send
USER username
PASS passwd // for authentication
mail from:<[email protected]>
rcpt to:<[email protected]>
HEADERS///goes here
DATA
bla bla bla
. // this is very important
you can read a good tutorial at http://hackingtruths.box.sk if you know socket programming then this is a piece of cake ...try ...
