	smtp ...

These commands are used for the Simple Message Transport Protocol
service (that is, mail).

	smtp accept <name>

	smtp batch [<on|off>]

	smtp gateway [<hostid>]

Displays or sets the host to be used as a "smart" mail relay. Any
mail sent to a host not in the host table will instead be sent to
the gateway for forwarding.

	smtp kick

Run through the outgoing mail queue and attempt  to  deliver  any
pending  mail.   This  command allows the user to "kick" the mail
system manually.  Normally, this command is periodically  invoked
by a timer whenever net.exe is running.

	smtp list

	smtp maxclients [<count>]

Displays or sets the maximum number of simultaneous outgoing SMTP
sessions  that  will  be allowed. The default is 10; reduce it if
network congestion is a problem.

	smtp mode [<route|queue>]

	smtp reject [<name>]

	smtp timer [<seconds>]

Displays or sets the interval between scans of the outbound  mail
queue. For example, smtp timer 600 will cause the system to check
for outgoing mail every 10 minutes and attempt  to  deliver  any-
thing  it  finds, subject of course to the smtp maxclients limit.
Setting a value of zero disables queue scanning altogether,  note
that  this  is  the default!  This value is recommended for stand
alone IP gateways that never handle mail, since it saves wear and
tear on the floppy disk drive.

	smtp trace [<value>]

Displays or sets the trace flag in the SMTP client, allowing  you
to  watch  SMTP's  conversations  as it delivers mail.  Zero (the
default) disables tracing.
