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

SYNOPSIS
     smtp [ -D ] [ -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  ser-
     vice  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.  smtp is normally run
                 by the smtpsched process to deliver mail  queued
                 in /var/spool/smtpq.
