Automatic e-mail

I am trying to make an applet that should send me an
e-mail every time someone visits my homepage.

Please if you have a codesample to point out the way
that would make me really happy.

heyhey_

you have to implement SMTP protocol and send a message in your applet init's method
you can find some examples of SMTP implementation (with sources) at
www.gamelan.com, www.jars.com (just search for SMTP)

if you can't find anything or if you have more specific porblems please post them here

hope this helps

Maybe I am wrong, this is my first question here. But i think
that for 100 points the answer should be a little more specified.

I am sorry heyhey

>> the answer should be a little more specified.

what do you need exactly ?

P.S. expert are suppost to give advices, suggestions and maybe code examples, not to write full workinig applications ...
P.P.S. Look at the latest PAQ / Answered questions - there is at least one SMTP question with source code published. if i have a free hour, i can build such an applet and post it here ...

open a socket connection on port 25 of SMTP server. Then send SMTP commands like From, Recepient, etc,. then finally send the data after the DATA command. Finally send "CRLF.CRLF". CRLF depends on the type of OS. It may be \r\n or \r. For detailed explaination of SMPT commands see in RFC'c.
