RE: SMTP (Telnet) from the command line: Exchange 5.5

[Bob Peitzke]

OK, that worked - I got a subject line.

I did several tests trying to get the body of the message.  The only one that gave me every line was when I entered a blank line after the subject line.  E.g.:

telnet mail.mydomain.com 25

helo bob...

mail from:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

rcpt to:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

data

subject:Test smtp mail with subject line

<enter>

First line of message body

That's all, folks.

[<enter>.<enter>]     <---  (The message was sent as soon as I hit 2nd <enter>)

 

Thanks, Bill & Jim, for the helpful tips.

 

:o)

to get a subject

 

DATA<CRLF>

Subject: This is a test of a subject<CRLF>

rest of the message

<CRLF>

.

<CRLF>

 

Don't know why you are not getting your body of the message though...

 

what is the mailserver running?

Yeah, but when I telnet to a mail server on port 25, and do that smtp mail bit, then check the recipient's mail, I get the note but with a blank subject and empty content pane.  I've wondered about that.

 

After I enter DATA, then I type the message lines, then do the [<CR><LF> "." <CR><LF>] upon which it sends the message.  But none of that stuff I typed shows up in the note.

For the life of me, I can not remember hot to send the data portion of an SMTP message from the command line.  Example:

 

telnet "exchangeserver" 25

 

helo "exchangeserver"

 

mail from: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

 

rcpt to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

 

 

 

What the heck is the next part?  I think it is simply DATA, Carriage Return, message, Carriage Return, period, Carriage Return.

 

I can't get it to work.  Is there a guide I can look out there on the Internet?  Maybe "An Idiots Guide to Command Prompt SMTP: MS Exchange".
