SMTP(1) General Commands Manual SMTP(1) NAME smtp -- Simple Mail Transfer Protocol client SYNOPSIS smtp [-Chnv] [-a authfile] [-F from] [-H helo] [-s server] [-T params] [recipient ...] DESCRIPTION The smtp utility is a Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) client which can be used to run an SMTP transaction against an SMTP server. By default, smtp reads the mail content from the standard input, estab- lishes an SMTP session, and runs an SMTP transaction for all the specified recipients. The content is sent unaltered as mail data. The options are as follows: -a authfile Perform a login before sending the message. The username and pass- word are read from authfile and need to be on the first and second line respectively. This option requires a TLS or STARTTLS server. -C Do not require server certificate to be valid. This flag is depre- cated. Use "-T noverify" instead. -F from Set the return-path (MAIL FROM) for the SMTP transaction. Default to the current username. -H helo Define the hostname to advertise (HELO) when establishing the SMTP session. -h Display usage. -n Do not actually execute a transaction, just try to establish an SMTP session and quit. When this option is given, no message is read from the standard input. -s server Specify the server to connect to and connection parameters. The format is [proto://[user:pass@]]host[:port]. The following proto- cols are available: smtp Normal SMTP session with opportunistic STARTTLS. smtp+tls Normal SMTP session with mandatory STARTTLS. smtp+notls Plain text SMTP session without TLS. lmtp LMTP session with opportunistic STARTTLS. lmtp+tls LMTP session with mandatory STARTTLS. lmtp+notls Plain text LMTP session without TLS. smtps SMTP session with forced TLS on connection. Defaults to "smtp://localhost:25". -T params Set specific parameters for TLS sessions. The params string is a comma or space separated list of options. The available options are: cafile=filename Use filename as root certificates file instead of the sys- tem default. ciphers=value Specify the allowed ciphers. Refer to tls_config_set_ci- phers(3) for value. nosni Disable Server Name Indication (SNI). noverify Do not require server certificate to be valid. protocols=value Specify the protocols to use. Refer to tls_con- fig_parse_protocols(3) for value. servername=value Use value for Server Name Indication (SNI). Defaults to the specified server hostname. -v Be more verbose. This option can be specified multiple times. SEE ALSO smtpd(8) HISTORY The smtp program first appeared in OpenBSD 6.4. FreeBSD ports 15.quarterly May 23, 2021 SMTP(1)
