Title: NMTP, SMTP, POP3...
Post by: Grincheux on December 30, 2004, 10:49:41 PM
I would like to write an e-mail and news reader program, in assembly language.

But where can I find any informations about ? I have found some on RFC site. But i am searching for examples (C or ASM) too.

Is there an API for MASM ?

Thanks

::)

The RFCs you're looking at should give some examples, like these:

http://www.freesoft.org/CIE/RFC/1725/9.htm
http://www.freesoft.org/CIE/RFC/821/31.htm

or if you have a network sniffer you can look at what happens and when it happens that way, with a different application.

Googling around for more than 15 seconds will get you tons of code examples in C or assembly.

IDCat,
Japheth wrote a nice mailreader called Joe, it is on his site with full source and is a real work of art.  You can scan your mail, read it and delete it right from the remote server.  And the best part, he has built JCI SpamKiller by JimmyClif into it so you can easily delete spam.  I use his program every day.

http://www.japheth.de/download/joe.zip will get the file.  Take a look at some of his other stuff, it is all top notch IMO.
