[TriLUG] OT: C++ question

[Mark Freeze]

Can someone show me how to send an email from within a c++ program? Or at
least point me in the direction of a good learning resource?
 I am writing some code to process files received from customers. The code
parses text files that are received through ftp. What I want to do is after
the program has finished its work, send an email to a list of predefined
users letting them know the results of the parsing. Something like "File
{filename_variable} was processed with {quantity_variable} records and
{error_quantity_variable} errors." Nothing fancy... Just something to let
them know the file was received and a few details of the processing.
 I am using the g++ compiler on breezy ubuntu if it matters about libraries,
dependencies, etc...
 Thanks,
Mark.
 ( My next post will probably be regarding passing command line parameters
to the program if anyone wants to go ahead and throw me a bone on this while
I have your attention. ;-> )
