Hi,

 

How do I send emails through telnet without causing perlscanner to reply with the following message:

 

Disallowed breakage found in header name - potential virus

 

For typical everyday use of course this isn’t an issue but we want to be able to troubleshoot our mailservers using plain ol’ telnet.

 

Here’s my telnet session for reference:

 

# telnet mail.server.com 25

Trying xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx...

Connected to mail.server.com.

Escape character is '^]'.

220 mail.server.com ESMTP

MAIL FROM:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

250 ok

RCPT TO:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

250 ok

DATA

354 go ahead

Subject:Test

Data here

.

250 ok 1076379824 qp 25754

QUIT

221 mail.server.com

Connection closed by foreign host.

 

 

Thanks for your help

 

Regards,

Mun Fai
