10/6    Is there a UNIX command line that uses an SMTP server to send out
        email? Something like:
        prompt> mail joe@blogspot.com -smtp_server <DEAD>smtp.yahoo.com<DEAD> -user
                  sam@yahoo.com -password abcdefg
        \_ ObUseTelnet
        \_ Theres probably more modern tools, but 11 years ago I downloaded
           ~mehlhaff/bin/mailforge.sh, which I've never actually used.
           The trick is finding an open SMTP relay that will let you use it.
           -ERic
        \_ http://esmtp.sourceforge.net I think this is the esmtp I use
           with a ~/.esmtprc that does what you describe.  -ax

9/9     What should outbound mail server be when reading mail from soda
        with IMAP? Is there a FAQ?
        \_ It's <DEAD>mail.csua.berkeley.edu<DEAD> (same as for incoming mail).

11/18   Say I've written a pcap-based program which pulls out the message
        body of unencrypted SMTP sessions and writes those into file1 file2
        file3 ... fileN. Is there a simple way to get a spam-score for
        each of those [based on message body, not SMTP headers, sender
        reputations etc]. I'd like to have a program warn me if some
        IP address inside my institution starts sending say >10 suspect

7/14    Help sendmail experts. I forward email from my own domain to
        http://gmail.com. I have never had any problem until recently. The problem
        happens only when eBay sends an email to my domain (as
        member@ebay.com). I receive the mail on my domain/my machine, and
        when it tries to forward to gmail, I get the following:
         Diagnostic-Code: X-Postfix; host <DEAD>gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com<DEAD>[w.x.y.z]

1/28    When I run Thunderbird to use my soda mail, I can read mail but I can't
        send.  It gives an error "Sending of message failed.  The message
        could not be sent because connecting to SMTP server
        <DEAD>mead.CSUA.Berkeley.edu<DEAD> failed. ......"  Is there some special setup
        that I need to configure in order to send mail?  Thanks.

esmtp.sourceforge.netLinks Introduction esmtp is a user configurable relay-only Mail Transfer Agent (MTA) with a sendmail compatible syntax. It's based on libESMTP supporting the AUTH ( including the CRAM-MD5 and NTLM SASL mechanisms) and the StartTLS SMTP e xtensions. Allow to send out local mail as remote mail by adding a qualifying domain name. Drop possible admin-added sgid priveleges to be dropped after reading the config. Features These are the esmtp features: * fully sendmail command line compatible, * supports the AUTH SMTP extension, with the CRAM-MD5 and NTLM SASL mec hanisms, * support the StartTLS SMTP extension, * requires no administration privileges, * individual user configuration, * does not receive mail, expand aliases or manage a queue. To do esmtp already fulfills all my needs, and I don't plan to spend much more time on it besides bug fixing. Here is a list of what can still be done: * Alias expansion. procmail: a MDA which can be used to sort your incoming mail into separate folders/files, preprocess your mail, start any programs upon mail arrival or selectively forward certain incoming mail automatically to someone.
