smtp login with telnet

When sending a message to an SMTP server, the first part of the conversation is what is called the "SMTP Envelope"; basically identity stuff to the server.  The commands "HELO (or EHLO), MAIL FROM: and RCPT TO: are all part of the envelope.

Everything after the DATA command is the actual e-mail message.  Most e-mail clients look here for the sender data, TO: and CC: information, Subject line, and the date/time of the message (although some clients look at the mail headers for the date/time).  After you issue the DATA command, you should send lines similar to this:

Date: Sat, 22 Dec 2012 23:16:00 -0500
From: John Doe <john.doe@example.com>
To: Jane Doe <jane.Doe@example.com>
CC: Little Timmy Doe <tim.doe@example.com
Subject: Holiday Shopping

Select allOpen in new window

Keep in mind that what you put here is what the recipient's mail program uses to separate TO: addresses and CC: addresses.  When send mail to the server, both TO: and CC: addresses are part of the RCPT TO line.

Hope this helps.

yes,
but I can only get to data
if the
mail from:
and
recpt to:

are the same


I want to send to another address, so I must log on to my email

How to do base64 login

Example of a POP3 long here:

http://coewww.rutgers.edu/www1/linuxclass2007/lessons/lesson12/sec_6.html

A Bas64 SMTP login cannot effectively be done manually.  It requires that the password be encoded.  Wikipedia actually has a fair explanation of base64 encoding:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base64

At this point, the question remains.  What are you trying to do?  What problem are you trying to solve?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base64
I may not need base64
and dont understand how the link applies to sending an email on telent

because this link is almost working for me:
http://coewww.rutgers.edu/www1/linuxclass2007/lessons/lesson12/sec_6.html

are there other commands than
retr 1

because this retrys a previous email, how can I write a new email

Retr 1 up is a a pop mechanism to read emails you received.
You have to use smtp to send email.

Base64 is needed to encode the username/password for authentication.

You can test you smtp telnet by sending an email to yourself,  a server that handles incoming emails for mydomain.com will not require authentication from anyone when a message recipient is user@mydomain.com

It applies to how you may have to enter the username & password during SMTP authentication in order to relay mail (send mail to a domain other than yours).  If you can get the POP3 login example to work, that may be all you need, because some SMTP servers are configured to allow relaying after a successful POP3 login from that IP address.

Login via POP3, then immediately logout.  Then try a simple SMTP session, with a RCPT TO: address that is not in your domain, and see if it goes out.

these will work for pop email login

which is what I need

thanks
