Netcat or gnu-netcat (not much of a difference, as far as I know).
With netcat, you can either do SMTP manually (like you intended) or
you can use netcat in the way it might have been originally intended;
ie. as a "cat to net".
To do the former, you'd execute:
nc host smtp
To do the latter, you'd do:
echo "HELO localhost
QUIT" | nc host smtp
The latter isn't (easily) possible with telnet ("easy" excludes
the use of "expect").
Cool! Thanks for all your replies.
I'm off now emerging netcat, but I noticed that there's also cryptcat
which I assume is only useful if the remote server has twofish
encryption enabled?
