Adam,

there are a couple libraries for that out in the wild. There's Shao  
Sean libSMTP and libMAIL which are wonderfull resources for dealing  
with emails. There's Altuits altEmailHarness and I created a Raw Smtp  
thing available on RevOnline under my user (soapdog).

Altuits library is the easiest one around. Shao Sean is the most  
powerfull. Mine is a very specific case where you want to send an  
email but don't want the user to fill in his configuration so my  
stack acts as a SMTP 'server', this works fine for all server that  
don't do a reverse checking, if they do or if they block relay mail,  
the mail will not work. So use my stack only in cases you control all  
your server environment.

Cheers
andre
