client [<options>] <ip address> <port> [<outgoing interface>]
This command runs the auxiliary "client" program that simulates an SMTP client.
Lines in client scripts are of several kinds:
-(1) If a line begins with three question marks and a space, the rest of the
+(1) "??? ": If a line begins with three question marks and a space, the rest of the
line defines the start of expected output from the server. If what is
received does not match, the client bombs out with an error message.
-(2) If a line begins with three question marks and an asterisk, the server
+(2) "???*": If a line begins with three question marks and an asterisk, the server
is expected to close the connection.
-(3) If a line begins with four question marks, the rest of the line defines
+(3) "????": If a line begins with four question marks, the rest of the line defines
the start of one or more possible output lines from the server. When it
matches, the client silently repeats the comparison using the next server
line. When the match fails, the client silently proceeds to the next script
line with the then-current server output unconsumed.
-(4) If a line starts with three plus signs followed by a space, the rest of the
+(4) "+++ ": If a line starts with three plus signs followed by a space, the rest of the
line specifies a number of seconds to sleep for before proceeding.
-(5) If a line begins with three '>' characters and a space, the rest of the
+(5) ">>> ": If a line begins with three '>' characters and a space, the rest of the
line is input to be sent to the server. Backslash escaping is done as
described below, but no trailing "\r\n" is sent.
-(6) If a line begin with three '<' characters and a space, the rest of the
- line is a filename; the content of the file is inserted intto the script
+(6) "<<< ": If a line begin with three '<' characters and a space, the rest of the
+ line is a filename; the content of the file is inserted into the script
at this point.
(7) Otherwise, the line is an input line line that is sent to the server. Any

before proceeding.
-(3) A line containing "*eof" specifies that the client is expected to close
