Have you figured it out yet?
I have written a SMTP function a couple of years ago which will talk to 
any SMTP server directly via socket. The only limitation I have noticed 
is that it does not support encrypted logins but that can be added, I 
just never bothered to do it.

So let me know if you still require it and I'll dig it out.
