Smtp Authentication

I am writing a class to connect to a SMTP server over SSL and send a mail. The smtp server i am using (yahoo) requires authentication. Can someone tell me how the authentication takes place as to which commands i should use to send my user credentials?

Note: I know about the JavaMail API. I just want a simple class to send mail without outside libraries.

You can do it by following in c#

class smtp
{
    SmtpClient client;
    MailMessage   mm;

    void send()
    {
      mm.send();
    }


    void smtp_configure()
    {
     client.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(username, password);
                client.Port = smtp_port;
                client.Host = smtp_host;              
                client.EnableSsl = true;
    }
    message_configure()
    {
      mm = new MailMessage(From, To);
      mm.Body = MgsText;
      mm.BodyEncoding = Encoding.UTF8;
      mm.Subject = Subject;
    }

   Main()
   {
      smtp_configure();
      message_configure();
      send();
    }

}

Internet RFC 821 covers the basics of the SMTP protocol, and RFC 2554 covers the authentication extensions. You'll need many of them to get a functional SMTP client up.

But, really, it's much simpler to just use JavaMail (unless this is a homework assignment, in which case, I'm guessing that would be cheating.)
