Is there anyway to send an email to an external smtp server?
my smtp server is XXX.XXX.XXX.66, listening on port 25
Is there a single command to send an email to this server a on port 25 without any setting up any cfg files?
When googling, the different commands like mailx or sendmail have very complicated parameters and many that i dont require like ssl etc.
If you are referring to sending email from within the database, you can
set database parameter "smtp_out_server" to "XXX.XXX.XXX.66:25"
then use the UTL_MAIL package to send emails
That is probably the quickest and easiest way to send simple emails.

The issue is that i cannot determine what domain name system external servers use.
I want to be able to spot which kind of domain name system client is a server using without having actually access to it.
I have tried several commands on n map with domain name system searching script, but the result is not clear.
For ports open i can use n map.
Is there a solution for domain name system spotting too ?
There is nothing within the DNS protocol which will do what you are asking for. Which port does not matter as port 53 is the standard DNS port and all DNS server regardless of what software they are running will respond on port 53 and will return data in the same way. Without access to the remote server you would not be able to identify what DNS server software they are running.

I just installed wamp server. At the end of the installation, it is showing this window:
I am going to use gmail for mail in my project. I don't know what to write in this window. Please help.
For this you need to enter SMTP mail server and email you want to use (If you have any else you can click next). if you don't have any SMTP server set uped. php mail() will not work on your local server (WAMP)
SMTP server like :-
mail.mysite.com
email :-
youremail#email.com
You can also change these settings from your php.ini anytime
SMTP = mail.mydomain.com
smtp_port = 25
sendmail_from = postmaster#localhost
Change these settings with your settings

One doubt I have is since in my old project whenever we used to write shell scripts on thee server, we just used various mail utilities of linux (sendmail, mail). We never configured any SMTP.
Suppose I have a new server with all these utilities installed, should I worry about configuring smtp?
Usually you can use typical cli utilities without any configuration required, provided you have sendmail installed (or something compatible) and your network configuration is ok. That is because the responsible server the utility has to use to send the email can be retrieved via DNS lookup.
This is different however if you want to use an outgoing smtp server, then you have to configure which one and how it can be used. This makes a lot of sense, since it allows more fine grained control and can prevent certain unwanted message details getting accepted like for example an invalid sender address. Also it can help improve the acceptance of your message by remote smtp servers which might not always work when your network setup is non-trivial.

I have installed sendmail on my webserver. Sending and receiving emails does work, but when I use authentication on port 25 ( to avoid spam attacks), I can't receive emails anymore.
All I get is an authentication error.
Is there a way to deactivate authentication in sendmail for incoming mail?
Edit 1 : In my sendmail configuration I have this lines:
DAEMON_OPTIONS(Name=ESMTP,Port=465,Modifiers=a')
DAEMON_OPTIONS(Name=STARTTLS,Port=587,Modifiers=a')
DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Name=SMTP,Modifiers=a')
You can not force authentication on port SMTP (25) if you want to receive messages from "strangers" (other SMTP hosts worldwide).
You should require authentication on SMTPS (465) and MSA (587) ports.
You may reject connection from DUL (dynamically allocated) IP addresses for unauthenticated connections and addresses listed by other DNSBL lists. Use FEATURE(enhdnsbl,...) with some DNSBL listing DUL ranges and FEATURE(delay_checks,...).
BTW You have missed s Modifier for SMTPS.
DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Name=SMTPS,Port=465,Modifiers=sa')

I have a server which hosts mywebsite.com
If I try to send mail to info#mywebsite.com, the MTA is trying to send it to a local host (the mail is managed on a different server). How can I fix this?!
Its a linux server running qmail
Any more info needed please ask
Thanks!
Figured it out, the system has Plesk on it, needed to disable the mail service on the domain to stop it from sending to itself
