A friendly hint:  Your posting was 50+ lines long with 5 lines

About SMTP authentication: what type of authentication is
required?  Some servers (MS-Exchange) do plaintext username and
password authentication.  Others require you to have an active
IMAP or POP connection.  Others have a more secure username
password scheme.

I've got C code that does the MS-Exchange username/password
authentication scheme (there may be other similar ones), and
you're welcome to that:
