Can anyone tell me where I can find some SMTP documentation? I need something that will tell me all of the valid replies and their meanings, etc. Thanks, Sean. ======================================= Sean Baker <sean@dmr.asa.com> Data Management Resources 20725 South Western Avenue, Suite 100 Torrance, CA 90501 USA (213)618-9677

Can anyone tell me where I can find some SMTP documentation?
You want RFC 821. You can get it on-line for the NIC. (I believe the domain
name now is nic.ddn.mil.)
