# This is an example for a shell script that can be fed to socat with exec.
# Its clue is that it does not use stdin/stdout for communication with socat,
# so you may feed the mail message via stdin to the script. The message should
# contain appropriate mail headers without continuation lines.
# socat establishes the connection to the SMTP server; the script performs the
# SMTP dialog and afterwards transfers the message body to the server.
# Lines with only a dot are not permitted - use two dots as escape.
# This script supports multiline answers from server, but not much more yet.

# Usage:  cat message.txt |socat exec:"mail.sh target@domain.com",fdin=3,fdout=4 tcp:mail.relay.org:25,crlf
