Send email through cmd prompt

Send email through command prompt

Sorry in different language:

—-> s.itb.ac.id = intended mail server that we intend to send email

—-> 25 = SMTP port

This is the syntax that I tried:

220 BLU437-SMTP35.smtp.hotmail.com Microsoft ESMTP MAIL Service, Version: 8.0.92
00.16384 ready at Fri, 15 Aug 2014 03:57:02 -0700

Lots of errors.

Please help.

Thanks before.

Am pretty sure that Microsoft will not allow you to do this via telnet. Be careful not to be considered trying to hack their servers.

It has nothing to do with spamming. I only try to test if my mail server is available.

If I can send email through command prompt then, I should be able to receive automatic email from the mail server.

Ok. There are lots of tutorials about how to use telnet on smtp, but you have to be sure that connecting like that is allowed in the first place.
