Some Arachne list members wanted to know how to send mail through an open relay.
I tried and succeeded on the first attempt, using an open relay from a spam
message I received. Using X_MAIL.EXE in UKA_PPP, I saved the outgoing file to
\UKA17X1\UKA_PPP\SPOOL\M0001.OUT and ran the command
COMTCP -o -p 25 202.194.145.66 X_MAIL
simply typing the open relay name or IP address in place of the usual SMTP
server. This was done in an OS/2 Warp 4 VDM from an OS/2 Internet connection.
In straight DOS, you could use TCPPORT 202.194.145.66 25 X_MAIL
I trust none of you reading this will use this info to send a flood of spam :<)
Here is the result:

This is a test of a spam relay just to see if I can send an e-mail message
through it.
