NAME
      mconnect - connect to SMTP mail server socket
 


SYNOPSIS
      mconnect [ -p port ]  [ -r ]  [ hostname ]
 


DESCRIPTION
      The mconnect utility opens a connection to the  mail  server
      on  a  given host, so that it can be tested independently of
      all other mail software. If no host is given, the connection
      is  made to the local host. Servers expect to speak the Sim-
      ple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) on this  connection.  Exit
      by  typing the quit command. Typing EOF sends an end of file
      to the server. An interrupt closes  the  connection  immedi-
      ately and exits.
 


OPTIONS
      The following options are supported:
 
      -p port
            Specify the port number instead of  the  default  SMTP
            port (number 25) as the next argument.
 
      -r    "Raw" mode:  disable the default  line  buffering  and
            input  handling.  This  produces  an effect similar to
            telnet(1) to port number 25.
 


OPERANDS
      The following operand is supported:
 
      hostname
            The name of a given host.
 
 USAGE
      The mconnect command is IPv6-enabled. See ip6(7P).
