Message-ID: Date: 23 Apr 89 19:44:30 GMT Organization: Dept. of Math., Univ. of Arizona; Tucson, AZ 85721; USA Lines: 18 I'm looking for a synchronous sendmail-type program. It should read a mail message from its standard input, and in real time transfer it via SMTP to its destination. To do this it should read the From: line. If it's of the form "user@domain", the program should look up the `A' (or `MX' if necessary) record for "domain", and forward the message to the appropriate SMTP server. If it can't get through, or if it can't locate the record, it should forward the message to a default SMTP server. If it can't even do that, it should return an error code. Has anyone written such a synchronous mail-sending program? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Robert S.
