You probably want to look into MFMailComposeViewController - it's the best option for that after the release of iPhone OS 3.0 software.

If you don't want a UI, you need to implement the SMTP protocol, since I don't think there's a built in one. But there is a google code project that provides this, if you want to incorporate it in your app.
