VERSION
       1.0.0 (21-10-1997)

DESCRIPTION
       SMTPclient is a minimal SMTP client that takes an email
       message body and passes it on to a SMTP server (default is
       the MTA on the local host). Since it is completely self-
       supporting, it is especially suitable for use in
       restricted environments.

       A typical usage is as a MTA emulating program on a
       dedicated webserver.  There it is usually called from
       within a CGI program to receive a mail (constructed by the
       CGI program out of a HTML form) and to forward it to the
       actual mailserver.

OPTIONS
       -s, --subject=STR
	   Specifies the Subject: header. This gives the message
	   a title. Default is no subject.

       -f, --from=ADDR
	   Specifies the From: address header. This is the
	   logical senders address.  Default is ``daemon'', which
	   is probably wrong.

       -r, --reply-to=ADDR
	   Specifies the Reply-To: address header. This is where
	   replies should be send to. Default is no such header.

       -e, --errors-to=ADDR
	   Specifies the Errors-To: address header. This is where
	   delivery problems should be reported. Default is no
	   such header.

       -c, --carbon-copy=ADDR
	   Specifies the Cc: address header. This can contain one
	   or more addresses (seperated by comma) to which one
	   copy of the message is send to. Default is no such
	   header.

       -S, --smtp-host=HOST
	   Specifies the name or IP-address of the SMTP host to
	   connect to. This is the host where the MTA is running
	   to which the message is forwarded. By default, the
	   mail is send to the SMTP daemon on localhost or to the
	   host specified in the environment-variable SMTPSERVER
	   if exists.

       -P, --smtp-port=NUM
	   Specifies the port of the SMTP host to connect to.
	   Default is port 25 (smtp).

       -M, --mime-encode
	   Use MIME-style translation to quoted-printable (base
	   16).

       -L, --use-syslog
	   Log errors to system's syslog facility instead of
	   stderr.

       -v, --verbose
	   Turn on verbose logging to stdout.

       -V, --version
	   Display the program version.

       -h, --help
	   Display the usage page.

RESULTS
       The program terminates with a non-zero exit status in case
       of errors.
