Description

Tests SMTP servers from the command line, including mail delivery paths, TLS negotiation, authentication, and message headers. Administrators use it to diagnose mail routing, server policy, and account configuration without a full mail client.

SMTP tests can send real email, expose credentials, or trigger security monitoring. Use test accounts, verify recipients, and avoid leaking authentication details in shell history or logs.
