- He said "smtp". You're describing what sendmail does when
- it's acting as an originating mail transport agent.
-
- Here's what the SMTP daemon on the WELL tells me about you:
-
- ------
- |
- | crk:pangea<ttyqb> telnet well.sf.ca.us 25
- | Trying 192.132.30.2...
- | Connected to well.sf.ca.us.
- | Escape character is '^]'.
- | 220 well.sf.ca.us Sendmail 5.65c/SMI-4.1/well-921206-1 ready at Mon, 28 Dec

- | 250 John F. Whitehead <\jfw>
- | quit
- | 221 well.sf.ca.us closing connection
- | Connection closed by foreign host.
- | crk:pangea<ttyqb>

- John Whitehead has a copy of his mail forwarded to Duke
- and keeps one on the WELL.
-
- Anonymity is compromised whether or not you send mail.
