Because I tire of looking up each time when I need to send a test message, I am adding this here for a quick reference.
Commands are bold
data is italics
telnet servername 25
helo somename
mail from:[email protected]
rcpt to:[email protected]
rcpt to:[email protected]data
subject:your subject information here
Body stuff goes here and here and here, etcetera, etcetera…
.
In case you aren’t aware, you terminate an SMTP email with a period by itself on it’s own line. That is not a typo.
Of course now that I think about it, I will have to look this up as well, Google is probably faster. 🙂
