The MIME-Type of the attachments can either be guessed automatically or alternatively set on the command line, separately for each attachment if required.It's also a convenient tool for testing and debugging SMTP servers' setups. Even the hardcore mail admins used to typing the SMTP protocol over telnet need a specialised tool when it comes to verifying encryption settings of their TLS enabled server with a subsequent user authentication. Such things are pretty hard to type into a telnet session by hand.The name smtp-cli stands for:1. smtp-client2. smtp-command line interfaceUse the script for checking given server's capabilities, test you server's setup or create and send mails.
