Re: Can you script telnet?

Hello Rob,

why would you do this by hand? Usually, proper MTAs can do that kind of probing automatically. I definitely know that postfix on Linux does this.

If you insist on doing this on IBM i, I assert that it might be easier to come up with a TCP socket application instead of finding reliable ways to "steer" telnet. Scott Klement has done some impressive proof of concepts in RPG. I think it's easier to code socket stuff in C, but this is just me. :-)
