Here's my problem...

I want to write an application which sends email via Demon (for
argument's sake).

I want to access the mail server directly (as if I were telnetting in) 
to post the mail, and I want to download that mail (for one specific 
address) with another application that I have also yet to write.

So - program A at foo.demon.co.uk accesses demons mail server and 
sends an email to otherend@nomatter.com


program B accesses the mail server at nomatter.com and retrieves all
mail from foo.demon.co.uk.

I understand ip and can write the app no problem, it's just talking to
the mail server that I've never done.


Thanks very much in advance. 
cheers
