Well right now I'm trying to set up an internal e-mail system as the other methods recently mentioned are unreliiable. It works like the following: (This source is very messy because I am in the process of debugging) any it should work fine! But I get a connect error all the time. the host is correct. I was thinking it was possibly the port but I tried using it on my own mud on port 4000 it still had connect problems. Any ideas? O am trying to connect to port 25. and send string 1 -6. Eventually this will have a second argument for the subject and will then used advanced text editor for the body but until I get the damb thing to connect nothing else matters. So the connect function is returning -1 like it's supose to do on error. Help would be apreciated. Oh and I'm using win 95, msvc++ 5.0.
