Worst case... All you have to do is issue a "system" command with the
proper paramaters.  You are looking for the command "mail" I beleive...
Just put all the paramaters to send some mail on the command line...

Aside from that, you could (if you wanted too), just open up the mailer
port directly to send the mail to the socket connection... It would be a
bit more troubble, but I'd bet you could find some C++ Class Lib to
handle the commnuications if you looked arround a bit.

Your choice.
