What you're describing isn't email, but more of an IRC. Email goes from client to server to another client using a couple main protocols (SMTP and POP).
Like error messages on games where it has a text box. user types in and then it sends it to you?
So like you're playing a game and an error happens, it gives you an option to enter an error report and send it in? Just use SMTP over port 25 I believe for this. Just send it to your email address and your email server will do the rest.

I just told you what to do. I'd say this is more of a job for a script though. I wouldn't use C++ for this.

Use libcurl for this, there is an example code on their webpage:
http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/
However, you most likely need access to a SMTP server like Gmail (must enable it first from Gmail settings) as it is very unlikely to host your own SMTP server locally.
Personally, I will use HTTP POST request to send a text to my own website and process it with PHP or other web scripting language like insert into some kind of database instead of sending an email every time. Using HTTP will have the advantage of not being blocked by ISP or firewall/antivirus solution.
