Scenario 8 – Sending a Mime Encoded Binary
Email with Attachment Using Interactive
Mode
Issue the following command: send-mail -b
The SMTP session then enters into interactive mode requesting the to-address, the cc-address,
subject, and message body to be entered. After completion of the message, type Ctrl+D to end the
message.
The SMTP session in interactive mode requests media-type, media-subtype, filename, filesize, and the
attachment body as shown in the figure.
When the attachment body reaches the filesize, another message is displayed asking whether to continue
with one more attachment. Type n for No. The email with its attachment is sent only to the entered to-
addresses (if any) and cc-addresses (if any). The subject and message body are used as entered in
the interactive mode.
Notes:
1. The email is sent only to addresses entered in interactive mode.
2. If the subject is pre-configured using set commands, it will be used as the subject for the email.
3. Type Ctrl+C to quit the email at any given time.
4. If the host wants to quit the email while sending the binary attachment body, type Ctrl+C and wait
for 3 seconds without entering any character to quit the email.
