I'm interested in writing an SMTP mail server that sends emails? I would have been writing this as a stand alone application in C # so if someone can tell me in the right direction or explain how SMTP really sends those emails which will be great.
Read more above. As an introduction, your best bet would be to look at examples of SMTP traffic. Download or use any other packet capture software, send some e-mails to SMTP, and study what has been captured. SMTP is a text-based protocol and is quite straight forward.
Please follow RFC with your application. There are so many broken SMTP and other mail-related applications that make things difficult from there. You can be better by using just at least, I will use this, there is no point in searching the wheel again, yes?
