C++ Program to Email a File

I work as a intern IT Administrator and my Higher ups need a program that will email a file called "Student.txt" (it is where there logging program logs when students connect, who connects, when they leave, and what modify on the computer) to the IT's email every day at 6:00pm (log starts at 7:00am and logs until 5:30 pm) . For years they have just gone to the m:\ Drive but the school got rid of our shared drives that contained logs. Now they want me to email it to the IT's email.

I am guessing using SMTP would be the only way to go.

I don't have much experience in doing these types of tasks. How might this be accomplished in an efficient manner?

What's wrong with existing email software.

I emailed my Supervisor (the main IT adminstrator) and he said he would like it in c++. I am assuming he wants it a standalone because of how many computers it will be on.

This seems like a dumb thing to write in C++. Sounds more like a job for python or a shell script. If you really want to write it in C++, grab a C++ smtp library and get to it.
