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.

4 Send three mails, using different options, to stdin of masqmail, which
5 relays it per STMP to a local MTA listening at localhost:25.
6
7 So use it only if you have an MTA running on your box (sendmail,
8 exim, qmail or whatever, or masqmail when you have it already
9 installed).
10
11 If it works, you should get three mails.
12 Two log files, masqmail.log and debug.log will also be created within
13 this directory. They may give some information if anything went wrong.
14
15 The scripts assume that your login name corresponds to your mailbox
16 (quite probable) and that your MTA listens on port 25 with the
17 interface which corresponds to the hostname as returned by the shell
18 command "hostname" (without quotes...), also very probable.
19
20 If the log files reveal that your MTA is not willing to relay, you may
21 have to qualify the hostname. You might want to do this in a way
22 similar to:
