LINUX下发送邮件的库,测试很好用,有各种发送测试的例子

libsmtp++ version 0.1

Preface
=======

libsmtp++ is a library that implements the client part of the SMTP
protocol. It is consequently object oriented designed.
The library should be easy to integrate and at the same time it should
provide all the SMTP features that are of importance.

Currently the following features are implemented:
CRAM-MD5   authentication
CRAM-SHA1  authentication
LOGIN      authentication
PLAIN      authentication
STARTTLS   ssl encryption
SMTPS      ssl encryption

The following features will be implemented in later releases:
DIGEST-MD5
DIGEST-SHA1
(both are a bit difficult to implement in contrast to the CRAM-*
methods)


History
=======

libsmtp++ was part of pushmail [1]. Sometime i realized that the SMTP
part of pushmail was well designed enough to be outsourced into
a library, so that maybe someone else will benefit from it.
That's it:-)


Documentation
=============

Currently you will find  a step by step guide in the directory
doc/examples and some documentation generated with the tool
doxygen [2]  in the directory doc/reference. In future releases
i will include more information in the form of a reference
textfile.


Requirements
============

You will need the openssl library and the openssl headers
to compile libsmtp++.
openssl [3]
