NAME

formmailtest - attempt to use formmail to relay to a DSBL-complaint host

SYNOPSIS

formmailtest <url> [<spoof recipient>]

DESCRIPTION

formmailtest attempts to connect to the specified host and uses several different to attempt to relay through the FormMail script located at <url>. It can do more tests if the normal recipient for that FormMail script is provided as <spoof recipient>, but it can quite often relay without.
Tests are done with both GET and POST to attempt to bypass any firewall/httpd.conf/.htaccess pseudo-security.
In the tests described below, DOMAIN is the section of <spoof recipient> after the @ sign, USER is the section before, and DASHDOMAIN is DOMAIN after all periods have been replaced by dashes.
Tests:
 
recipient=listme@dsbl.org
 
recipient=dsbl.org!listme
 
realname=&email=\nCc: listme@dsbl.org&recipient=()
 
realname=)\nCc: listme@dsbl.org (&recipient=()
 
recipient=listme%dsbl.org@DOMAIN
 
recipient=dsbl.org!listme@DOMAIN
 
recipient=listme@dsbl.org(DOMAIN
 
recipient=<listme@dsbl.org>DOMAIN
 
realname=&email=c: listme@dsbl.org&recipient=DOMAIN
 
realname=)c: listme@dsbl.org (&email=&recipient=DOMAIN
 
recipient=listme@dsbl.org(USER@DASHDOMAIN
 
recipient=<listme@dsbl.org>USER@DASHDOMAIN
