[Tfug] Telnet/mail

[Jon]

The following info is only if you intended to telnet to the smtp port of
your ISP for testing (not sure why else you'd do this). Hope this helps.

telnet <mail server> 25
helo blahblahblah <it might require a FQDN instead>
mail from: <your email address with ultrasw>
rcpt to: <email address to send to>
data
Subject: WOOHOOO!

Hi, this is a test message.

. <this dot needs to be on a line all by itself>

quit
<Your session with the mail server should be ended now>
