Hey, there's something that's been bugging me. Sometimes when I want to test the email functionality of an email server or smtp machine, I telnet to it on port 25 then issue some smtp directives.
For example, my usual sequence is as follows: Helo xxxx.xxxx.xxx Mail from: blahblah Rcpt to: blahblah Data Textblahblahbodyblahblahtexttextext . AS you can see, I enter a "period" on it's own line, when I'm finished with the body. The machine will let me know that it accepts the mail for delivery. But then ! When I go check the recipient's inbox, I see an email with no body, no "from" or "to" populated ( in Outlook). A portion of the body text (like, the first line only) shows up in the internet headers. What's the problem here? I thought the sequence as described above was the correct smtp sequence.
