Re^4: emailing from one debian system to another

hey stevie, looks like I'm getting through from the local machine:

$ nc HOSTNAME 25
hello, email world
hey stevie, it worked!
^C
$

to the remote target:

wilma@fourth:~$ sudo -i
[sudo] password for wilma: 
root@fourth:~# which nc
/usr/bin/nc
root@fourth:~# sudo nc -l 25
hello, email world
hey stevie, it worked!
root@fourth:~#

You can also type something while on the server while the nc command is still running on both machines, and the message will show up on the machine you connected to the server with; in essence, a little chat program ;)

Yeah, I guess so.:) Reminds me of the old days when we really used telnet....

You now know that you should be good to go to have an SMTP server listening on your system.	[reply]
