RE: socket trace

Gene,

If you're trying to decipher SMTP then you _MUST_ have a copy of RFC821 next
to you. 821 defines the SMTP protocol, and it is actually rather simple.
There are copies all over the place, but
http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/cgi-bin/rfc/rfc0821.html will take you to one.

I'm reading the data dump from my SMTP proxy, and a redundancy puzzles me.
What's the difference between the e-mail addresses in the "Mail From:" and
"Rcpt To:" SMTP commands, and the e-mail addresses in the "From:" and "To:"
records in the MIME packet?   I open my Lotus Notes mailbox and see "FROM"
and "TO" addresses.  Are these addresses coming from the SMTP commands, or
are they coming from the MIME packet?
