Thanks for the verbose output.

Be careful and change your SMTP password (key?): it has been published 
by this post in base64 :-(

Plain login has been performed successfully.

Then curl tries to perform a (user) command because you neither tell to 
upload something nor used mime posting. In the absence of real user 
command, curl sends a VRFY command that is not supported by your server 
--> CURL_WEIRD_SERVER_REPLY because "502 5.3.3 VRFY is not supported" is 
not a curl expected reply.

Solution to your problem: add the following line to your program before 
calling curl_easy_perform().

*code = curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_UPLOAD, 1L);*

This should do the expected job.
