Send email through Exchange Server programmatically (C++, SDK, no MFC, no .NET)

Hello,

I need to send email messages using an Exchange Server. I am programming in C/C++ (MSVC .NET 2003) and I am not using (nor do I intend to use) MFC or ASP.
How should I proceed?
Is there an SDK for that purpose anywhere? I've been looking around, no results yet.

Thank you,

Daniel

.net already has SmtpMail class...but use it only for framework 1.1. For higher version of framework use SmtpClient class

see the code below

#using <mscorlib.dll>
#using <System.dll>
#using <System.Web.dll>
using namespace System;
using namespace System::Web::Mail;
 
void DisplayUsage() 
{
   Console::WriteLine(S"Usage SendMail.exe <to> <from> <subject> <body>");
   Console::WriteLine(S"<to> the addresses of the email recipients");
   Console::WriteLine(S"<from> your email address");
   Console::WriteLine(S"<subject> subject of your email");
   Console::WriteLine(S"<body> the text of the email");
   Console::WriteLine(S"Example:");
   Console::WriteLine(S"SendMail.exe SomeOne@Contoso.com;SomeOther@Contoso.com Me@contoso.com Hi hello");
}
 
int main() 
{
   String* args[] = Environment::GetCommandLineArgs();
   try 
   {
      try 
      {
         MailMessage* Message = new MailMessage();
         Message->To = args[1];
         Message->From = args[2];
         Message->Subject = args[3];
         Message->Body = args[4];
 
         try 
         {
            SmtpMail::SmtpServer = S"your mail server name goes here";
            SmtpMail::Send(Message);
         } 
         catch (System::Web::HttpException* ehttp) 
         {
            Console::WriteLine(S" {0}", ehttp->Message);
            Console::WriteLine(S"Here is the full error message output");
            Console::Write(S" {0}", ehttp);
         }
      } 
      catch (IndexOutOfRangeException*) 
      {
         DisplayUsage();
      }
   } 
   catch (System::Exception* e) 
   {
      Console::WriteLine(S"Unknown Exception occurred {0}", e->Message);
      Console::WriteLine(S"Here is the Full Message output");
      Console::WriteLine(S" {0}", e);
   }
}

Like I said, I am not planning to use .NET. I need this application to be as self-contained as possible.
Still looking...
