Use the socket functions to connect to an SMTP server then send it via SMTP commands. An excellent tutorial about sending via SMTP can be found here (http://www.yuki-onna.co.uk/email/smtp.html).

What I would do is use sendmail. Read up on sendmail in Linux. I wrote a chunk of code a while back to do exactly what you are trying to do using sendmail on the machine that it was running on. It worked great, in only a few lines of code!
