[asio-users] Writing a registration server. How do I send an email?

[Jim Sager]

Hello,

I'm writing a server in ASIO for a video game.  I do not know how to send an email automatically.

The problems I have are two fold:
1) I can't send the verification code to their email.
2) In case of lost password, I can't automatically send them a computer generated one to use to set up a new password.

Is it possible to send off an email in ASIO?
If not, where would I get this tech?

ASIO does not implement application-layer protocols.
However, using ASIO tcp::socket you can implement several SMTP
commands, connect an SMTP server, and send e-mails...

In addition to what Igor said, I'd suggest that you're probably better
off finding a library that implements SMTP, than writing your own, atop
ASIO.
