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.
