Send emails from linux appication in c++

Question

I am doing an school assignment and i would like to send emails to gmail accounts. I am creating a c++ application and how can i proceed. Do i need to install any lib or can i use a simple mailto: like in web applications. Pls advice.

Answer 1

You could use something like the QT framework on linux to help you.

But you probably just need this: Send Mail using SMTP in C++ on Linux

Hope that helps,
