I need to check the headers fo my email using smtp/pop3

When bind'ing to a mail server I get bind error:

...
h=gethostbyname("mail.whatever.fi");
service.sin_addr.s_addr=inet_addr(inet_ntoa(*((struct in_addr
*)h->h_addr)));
service.sin_port=htons(110);
if (bind(mylistens, (SOCKADDR*)&service, sizeof(service)) == SOCKET_ERROR)
{
blah blah error here

If you are writing a client, you should not be binding to the server port
number.

You only need to use the server port number when your client calls connect.
