Using SMTP
The SMTP protocol is an open standard. It is used by all companies to send emails. You are about to find a native function or library whatever programming language or platform used
Furthermore the SMTP protocol is simple to use. Once the identification parameters entered, you just have to pass the following fields to send your emails

- subject : subject of email
- message : your message
SMTP can be very powerful through the use of optional parameters such as adding a sender email address, parameters in headers.
