Problems telnetting to smtp port
When I telnet to the James smtp port 25 and I enter the HELP command, I get an error message. The HELP command works for other SMTP server ports but not with James. The general syntax that James understands seems much different than other SMTP servers. Why is this?
Thanks

We had HELP implemented at one time. Don't know what happened to it.
Certainly easy to add.

Hi,
I've had a look at the source (org.apache.james.smtpserver.SMTPHandler.java)
and the SMTP rfc (the *official* standard), and it looks like James
implements a subset of this protocol - probably the essential commands and
not the ones that aren't in common use ("HELP" would come under this banner,
I suppose).
The commands supported so far are:
HELO, EHLO, AUTH, MAIL, RCPT, NOOP, RSET, DATA, and QUIT.
I'm not sure of any plans to add to this list, although I don't imaging HELP
being too hard to implement.
ciao
