Connection closed by foreign host.
Although it’s more complex, this session is similar to our Daytime example.
We only send more complex commands. (By the way, you don’t have to write
the commands in uppercase.) Please note that we’re connecting to port 2525,
which is not the standard SMTP port (25). Check your SMTP service provider’s
website to see what port you have to use.
We start the session using
EHLO
. We use the
EHLO
command to tell the SMTP
server that we’d like to use a slightly extended version of SMTP that supports
authentication.
After that, we send the
AUTH LOGIN
command to tell the SMTP server that we’d
like to send our username and password. The SMTP server sends back the
string VXNlcm5hbWU6. It looks a bit weird at first, but it’s only the string
“Username:” encoded using Base64.
