If you're sure you want to do it directly and not via mail() or whatever, have a read of rfc821, but basically you need: HELO <hostname> MAIL FROM: <email@address> RCPT TO: <email@address> (repeated as many times as needed) DATA Headers (Subject, From and To are the least you should be sending), mail content, then: . QUIT Of course, every instruction should be CRLF delimited, and you should take care not to let a blank line and CRLF get through in the DATA segment.
