I'm a noob to lisp. I tried it some time ago, but gave up because it was
all too tricky, and didn't provide enough libraries that I was looking for.

Recently, I managed to get Debian installed on an old rusty machine near
  our servers. Installation of CLisp on Debian is a breeze, thanks to
its ober-cool package management system. I decided to give CLisp another
look-see. I noticed that it appears to be developing lately; with an
Oracle database interface no less.

I'm going to try an experiment of sending a message using SMTP functions
implemented in CLisp. If I can get it to work, then I will be impressed.
