Well done for persevering with this and thanks for updating the thread too.

I've proved it works on RHEL 6 too. We have some servers where we don't want to allow mail for users to work, but we still need to get alerts out. Just installed the telnet client and it fired up. I had to increase the sleep counts and send a HELO first, but that may just be my relay server requirements. Smilie


Good job! Smilie

If text is not specified, a complete email message is read from STDIN. from is the email address of the sender and to is the email address of the recipient. When a complete email is read from STDIN, from and to are only used in the SMTP negotiation, the message headers are not modified. Whenever you pass arguments to calibre-smtp that have spaces in them, enclose the arguments in quotation marks. OPTIONS
