Hi,
Could somebody pls explain the syntaxes to follow if one wants to send a
mail by telnetting to the port 25 of ones mailserver.
I tried to copy sytaxes from the result of sendmail -v ... but got stuck
up after the line:
" 354 Start mail input; end with <CRLF>.<CRLF> "
250 Requested mail action okay, completed
>>> RCPT To:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
250 Requested mail action okay, completed
>>> DATA
354 Start mail input; end with <CRLF>.<CRLF>
Uk
