You'll need to add the networking package to the driver (I believe it
hasn't yet been updated for the latest version), and then write some code
to speak SMTP to the player's machine.

This is fairly simple.  Connect to port 25, and send something like:
(copying from some code that I didn't write - apologies if this is wrong.
Read the RFC before you do this)

	EHLO mymud.muds-r-us.com
	MAIL FROM: gumby at mymud.muds-r-us.com
	RCPT TO: fred at freds.mail.com
	To: fred at freds.mail.com
	From: gumby at mymud.muds-r-us.com
	Subject: Here's your password
	
	fooble
	.
	QUIT

Something like that.  Read the RFC.
