SMTP client: tries EHLO now always first Changed the behavior of the SMTP client. Now always an EHLO greeting is sent, no matter what kind of greeting text the server had sent. If the EHLO failed, an HELO greeting is tried as fall back. This is the behavior RFC 2821 requires (section 3.2). This change will fix setups that were not possible to sent to a server because that requires AUTH but hadn't said ``ESMTP'' in its greeting message.

COMMENTS:

This is the second stab at a small library to interface to the Ident
protocol server. Maybe this will work correctly on some machines.. :-)
 
The ident-tester.c file is a small daemon (to be started from Inetd)
that does an ident lookup on you if you telnet into it. Can be used
to verify that your Ident server is working correctly.
 
I'm currently running this "ident-tester" on port 114 at lysator.liu.se
(130.236.254.1) if you wish to test your server.

This library now contains some higher-level routines, as well as a
similar test program to test these (lookup-tester).

/Pär Emanuelsson <pell@lysator.liu.se>, 4 April 1993


Support for NextStep 3.1 added.

/Michael Kuch <kuch@mailserv.zdv.uni-tuebingen.de>, 13 Aug 1993


Updated the ident.h header file to work with Linux, and reorganized the
Makefile for easier compilation...
