Smtp protocol means ( simple mail transfer protocol )

I will explain this trought example :


1. Find the server wich supports smtp protocol ( your provider probably has it )

Code: Select all

smtp.sezampro.yu

2. Telnet to server like this :

Code: Select all

open smtp.sezampro.yu 25

|
|------ this ( 25 ) means that smtp port on server is 25 this is most common for many servers

3. now when you are connected to the server do this

helo server_you_are_connected_to (example sezampro)
|
|------- this indentifys you to their sever ( you must do this to send mail )

Code: Select all

mail from:[email protected]

|
|------- sets mailer ( you )

Code: Select all

rcpt to:[email protected]

|
|
|------- sets recipient ( reciver of the message )

Code: Select all

data

now you write you message...

when you finish writing you type "." without "" or ctrl + C

and exit the server by typing

Code: Select all

quit

that should be it

There are some extra commands like

Code: Select all

    EHLO    RCPT    RSET    NOOP    HELP
EXPN    VERB    ETRN    DSN     AUTH    VRFY

Try every one of these it is the best way to learn

Good tutorial, not to knock it but if you want to learn more about SMTP read the RFC:

VRFY and EXPN are usually commands which are disallowed on most smtp relay servers. So if you really want to learn about each command, it's best you try it with your own server.

Just wondering is there any light smtp server out there available for download? I would much prefer opensource software so that I can study the code. Please PM me if any people here got any recommendations!
