   NAME
         smtp - send SMTP mail to a remote host using Simple Mail Transfer
         Protocol

   SYNOPSIS
         smtp [ -D ] [ -u ] [ -d domain ] [ -H helohost ] sender host recip
         ...

   DESCRIPTION
         smtp sends a message to a remote host host using the Simple Mail
         Transfer Protocol (SMTP).  The message is read from standard input.
         sender is used to identify the sender of the message and the recips
         are used as the recipients.

         When establishing a connection, smtp will use the first transport for
         which netdirgetbyname(3) returns an address, based on hostname,
         transport [returned from getnetpath(3)], and service smtp.  Normally,
         this will be the ``tcp'' transport.

         The options to smtp and their meanings are as follows:

         -D          This option turns on debugging.  Debugging information is
                     printed on standard error.

         -H helohost This option can be used to set the hostname used in SMTP
                     HELO message (this defaults to the system's name).

         -d domain   This option can be used to set the domain name to be used
                     for this host.

         -u          This option is for UNIX format:  Do no conversion to
                     RFC822 format.

         smtp is normally run by the smtpsched process to deliver mail queued
         in /var/spool/smtpq.

   FILES
         /var/spool/smtpq        where messages are queued
