"telnet some.host 25" and do the smtp conversation by hand. 2. write a little expect script to do it. 3. write a little perl script to connect to the smtp socket of the other machine. 4. "telnet localhost 25" and dummy it up (same as 1. above) is the user savy? can you prevent these? what about news-to-gateways? sorry to be so pessimistic about this. jmb
