Oh. It's easier than you think. Consider
http://gateway.digitaria.com/users/chris/php3domo/ - there's a PHP3
script there which does a full SMTP send. The socket parts were the
easiest - most programming languages are remarkably civilized these days.
In Perl, it'd be very easy - there's a wonderful amount of CPAN code for
network related functions. More importantly, there's also several
complete mail sending packages, so you don't need to do much at all any
more.
