Testing SMTP from command line/ telnet Print

  • 0

Sometimes it’s really handy to be able to do a quick mail test direct from a server rather than your local email client. These commands will make that happen.

Sample data uses the domain websavers.ca — be sure to change that sample data to suit your use case.

telnet thyme.websavers.ca 25 
hello me
mail from: my address@websavers.ca
rcpt to:youraddress@websavers.ca
data
this is a test
