Thanks Norsk!
That is a great tip! Just the kind of great antispam technique this special topic forum needs. I have never heard of 'POP before SMTP'...
My mother (a grandmother and savvy net user) has been on the net (doing email) since 1992 and now says, for her, the Internet is "not fun anymore' because of the mountains of spam she receives.
I think spam is the number one problem on the net today...... recently I was overseas in an Internet kiosk and spent most of my 'on-line' time deleting a thousand junk message that accumlated over a day in airports and planes.....
Thanks! Neo

NAME
calibre-smtp - part of calibre
SYNOPSIS
calibre-smtp [options] [from to text]
DESCRIPTION
Send mail using the SMTP protocol. calibre-smtp has two modes of operation. In the compose mode you specify from to and text and these are
used to build and send an email message. In the filter mode, calibre-smtp reads a complete email message from STDIN and sends it.
text is the body of the email message. 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.
