    // Set the SMTP server.

    // the connection is closed.  In these cases, it is necessary to
    // call CloseSmtpConnection for the mail to be  sent.  
    // Most SMTP servers send the email immediately, and it is 
    // not required to close the connection.  We'll close it here
    // for the example:
    success = mailman.CloseSmtpConnection();
