Work around: "-T -" picked up the pipe perfectly. This may just be a revision change issue and not an actual bug. (In reply to Todd from comment #0) > curl is issuing the VRFY command even when the server does not support it. You can use the -X option of curl to specify a custom SMTP command to be used instead of VRFY. See the curl(1) man page.

See the curl(1) man page. Indeed the man page does. I did find that, but it did not give directions on how to use it. Google did not produce anything either. The "-T -" fixed the problem. Maybe that should have been mentioned in the -X section of the man page? Something like, "When invoked with `-T -`, curl will not use VRFY. See -T for details." Just thinking. You can find a pretty good tutorial in the Everything curl book: https://ec.haxx.se/usingcurl-smtp.html On the other hand, the man page is meant to be concise, so it cannot cover all combination of all options. In general, curl never (if I remember correctly, TELNET is the only exception) uploads data unless you ask for that by some option. This behavior is not really specific to SMTP. Anyway, feel free to continue the discussion on the upstream mailing list where you already started a thread: https://curl.haxx.se/mail/archive-2017-10/0009.html |
Dear Fedora Developers, doesn't work: Fedora 26: curl-7.53.1-7.fc26.x8664 works: Scientific Linux 7.4: curl-7.29.0-42.el7.x8664 I am trying to send eMail through curl on fc26. I am getting: < 502 mx.zohomail.com VRFY not implemented * Command failed: 502 > QUIT curl is issuing the VRFY command even when the server does not support it. My command line does work on old-out-of-date (Scientific Linux 7.4) where curl is so out-of-date that it has not yet implemented VRFY (Added in 7.34.0). My full command line(s): $ cat mail.txt | curl smtp://smtp.zoho.com:587 -vvv --mail-from "xxxxx" --mail-rcpt "yyyy" --ssl -u xxxxx:redacted -k --anyauth $ cat mail.txt | curl smtps://smtp.zoho.com:465 -vvv --mail-from "xxxxx" --mail-rcpt "yyyy" --ssl -u xxxxx:redacted -k --anyauth $cat mail.txt From: "xxxxx> To: "yyyyy> Subject: This is a test Hi yyyyy, I'm sending this mail with curl thru my zoho account. xxxxx
