Emailing

mackw44 (29)
Hey, I am currently trying to make a program that will send a text to my cell phone but, I am trying to do this by sending a email to mynumber@pcs.rogers.com which is the texting address for rogers. Does anyone know how i can do such a thing. I have been googling for hours and i can't find anything.

Yes i've googled that already and iv clicked all the links. Im not sure exactly how to do this.

Really? Even http://www.cplusplus.com/forum/windows/35333/ where working code is presented near the end of the thread (non-secure SMTP's only)?

I tried that link you said and the code and this is what the output is:

220 mx.google.com ESMTP wh8sm18119467igb.11
250-mx.google.com at your service, [24.156.213.244]
250-SIZE 35882577
250-8BITMIME
250-STARTTLS
250 ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES
220 2.0.0 Ready to start TLS
Mail successfully sent.


After it says this i check my mail and i have nothing from it. here is the code:

Do you know whats wrong?

No, sorry. But the code in that thread doesn't work with Google's SMTP servers because they require a secured connection. If you read the thread, you'll see that the original poster decided to use that code, yes, but with an SMTP server that doesn't require a secure connection, and Google servers require a secure connection.

Okay so im using a different SMTP and im running it off my local host so the bottom portion of my code is this now :

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
 
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {

    int ret = sendmail(

        "mack_whipp@hotmail.com",  // from - put an email address here
        "mack_whipp@hotmail.com", // to - put an email address here
        "subject_sendmail",
        "body_text",
        "localhost",
        25
    );


It shows a connection to my mail server and i get this output:
220 localhost
250-localhost
250 HELP
500 Syntax Error
250 mack_whipp@hotmail.com Address Okay
250 mack_whipp@hotmail.com Address Okay
354 Start mail input; end with <CRLF>.<CRLF>

After this it does nothing. do you know whats wrong with it?
