Virtually any PIC will work. You simply need a serial-to-Ethernet converter (some sources are Lantronix, Wiznet, Digi and ConnectOne). The device should be able to handle the SMTP protocol, or at least tunnel the packet so you can take care of it yourself.
I have for a long time Lantronix XPort, I always use it as a serial port, with the appropriate drivers on the PC.
Several times I searshed the documentation but I have not found, is it possible to use the xport, just as the tcpip stack
