# formmailtest(1)

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

## 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 after the @ sign, *USER* is the section before, and *DASHDOMAIN* is *DOMAIN* after all periods have been replaced by dashes.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=\\nCc: listme@dsbl.org&recipient=*DOMAIN*\
 realname=)\\nCc: listme@dsbl.org (&email=&recipient=*DOMAIN*\
 recipient=listme@dsbl.org(*USER*@*DASHDOMAIN*\
 recipient=\<listme@dsbl.org\>*USER*@*DASHDOMAIN*\
