NAME
smtpd - the NAT32 SMTP daemonSYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTIONstart smtpd domain [port] [debug] sstat [d | D | l | L | domain]
The SMTP daemon listens at the specified port number (default 25) for incoming SMTP connections. Because it communicates via Winsock, the daemon listens at the Windows IP addresses, not the NAT32 IP addresses.NOTESThe daemon accepts email for any user at the specified domain, but prompts the user for 10 seconds before so doing. For testing purposes, email originating at localhost (127.0.0.1) is unconditionally accepted.
All accepted email is saved in the NAT32 Email directory, where it can subsequently be viewed and manipulated with any Email Application that supports the eml file type (e.g. Outlook Express).
Even though the SMTP domain can be specified as the Windows IP address of any network adapter on your machine, many Email clients will not send email to addresses that do not have an MX record in the DNS.SEE ALSOThe SMTP daemon is started with the following command in file user.txt:
start smtpd domainUse a different port number if you already have an SMTP server running under Windows on the NAT32 machine.
To stop the daemon, enter the command:
kill SMTPDThe sstat command can be used to interact with the daemon as follows:
sstat D // Debugging ON sstat d // Debugging off sstat L // Logging ON sstat l // Logging off sstat domainSMTPD status values are:
Command sstat L logs all SMTPD traffic to file email.log in your NAT32 directory.0 down No SMTPD is running. 1 idle No connections are currently being processed. 3 busy One or more connections are currently being processed.
