Google is not helping because apparently you do not know what you are asking, nor have you yet understood the other posts in this thread. People can use telnet(1), the application, as a simple TCP text client. That application can connect directly to a SMTP server. If the user knows how to speak SMTP, the user can send mail. Postfix does not implement a telnetd(8) server. That would be an example of "telnet the protocol". There is NO difference between a person using telnet(1) to speak SMTP or using any other mail client to speak SMTP. (Again, offer void where taxed or prohibited, or if the person does not understand SMTP adequately.) TCP is TCP. What you are asking is not possible. Perhaps you should consider why you think this goal is desirable or important. It is generally far harder to manually speak SMTP to a server than it is to configure a mail client. I use Kmail or mutt(1), myself. -- http://rob0.nodns4.us/ -- system administration and consulting Offlist GMX mail is seen only if "/dev/rob0" is in the Subject:
