peter, your program write 'e-mail' absolutely not rfc2822 compliant.
read 
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2822.html
to know how should be a real e-mail message

This is an example of how the simplest e-mail should look like:

======================================
From: John Doe <jdoe at machine.example>
To: Mary Smith <mary at example.net>
Subject: Saying Hello
Date: Fri, 21 Nov 1997 09:55:06 -0600
Message-ID: <1234 at local.machine.example>

This is a message just to say hello.
So, "Hello".
======================================

remembering that every line MUST end whit "\r\n"

Please try to make your program sending correct e-mail, because it's hard
to develop parser which understand e-mail written in non standard format.

Ciao,
Riccardo
