Ok, my socket programming skills aren't very good at the moment (almost non-existant but not quite) so I can't comment as to whether or not your method will work, but some things I see that may be wrong are ... 1) what is DEST_PORT? (ie where does it get setup) I'm assuming you set it to 25 some place else? 2) Why do you set the members of dest_addr and THEN clear the structure out with the memset? I think you may want to move the memset BEFORE you do dest_addr.sin_family = PF_INET etc. This may make the connect call a little confused as to where it's trying to connect to. Just a guess though.
