I've never used libSMTP. If you can get it to work then that seems like 
a good solution. If not then:

In Unix the command "sendmail" available on _all_ servers. It's a 
command line tool for sending outgoing email, that takes care of SMTP 
for you. The recipient of the email does not require Sendmail or 
Postfix or anything like that.

BTW Postfix, Qmail, and many other email servers all have a "sendmail" 
command even if "Sendmail" is not the brand of server software.

Hope this helps,
