NAME

smtpblast - send a message with SMTP

SYNOPSIS

smtpblast [options]

DESCRIPTION

smtpblast is used to send a single message to a remote SMTP server.

It is designed to be used from inside a .qmail file, therefore the exit codes smtpblast uses are compatible with qmail : 0 for success, 111 for deferral and 100 for permanent failure.

smtpblast tags it output lines with a starting F to mark permanent failures, a starting D to mark deferrals, and a starting O to mark successful deliveries.

smtpblast defaults to use MX record processing to determine which host to send to message to. Use the -r option to use a single predetermined host.

OPTIONS

-C SECONDS, --connect-timeout SECONDS
set connect timeout to SECONDS seconds. The default is 90 seconds.
-f SENDER, --from SENDER
set sender address. This option is mandatory, but you may pass an empty string.
-g TEXT, --greeting TEXT
The text to send in the HELO command. Default: the local host name.
-i FILE, --input FILE
Read input from FILE instead of the standard input.
-R SECONDS, --read-timeout SECONDS
Timeout to use for reading input from the remote host. Default is 1200, which is usually ok.
-p PORT, --port PORT
Use port number PORT instead of 25 (SMTP).
-r HOST, --relayhost HOST
Use HOST as SMTP server. Default is to use normal MX record processing. Make sure HOST likes you.
-t RECIPIENT, --from RECIPIENT
set recipient address. This option is mandatory, empty strings are not allowed.
-W SECONDS, --write-timeout SECONDS
Timeout to use for writing to the remote host. Default is 1200, which is usually ok.
--reply-log-file FILENAME
Log all answers we get from the SMTP server into FILENAME.
--reply-log-fd FD
Log all answers we get from the SMTP server to file descriptor FD. FD has to be writable and should possibly not be 1 or 2 (or else you'll flood qmails log files).

In case i screwed something up: short options use the same arguments as the long ones
