C++ and E-mail

Basically, I'm trying to have my Win32 Console application send infomation thats entered into it via e-mail to a specific e-mail address. However, im not sure how this is done.....but, Oulook Express or programs of the such can't be used. Is their a way to do this? I could setup an e-mail account for the outgoing messages (giving the program access to it), and another for the incoming, if that would someone work. I'm new to the language, am clueless and am open to any ideas. I've googled it and found http://www.marshallsoft.com/see_ref.htm, which gives me an idea on what the operators will look like, but not how to set them up. any help would be great.

thanks!

My suggestion is that you make your own SMTP engine inside your program.
you can find SMTP protocol definition from the link below
