# Testing KumoMTA
|
|
|
|
Now that you have KumoMTA installed, you should test it from the command line of the installed host. This is easy if you installed the basic tools as described earlier.
|
|
|
|
Note that the default SMTP listener is on port 25, so we have use that in these examples.
|
|
|
|
## Telnet method for SMTP
|
|
|
|
Start a telnet session with `telnet localhost 25`, replacing youremail@address.com with your actual email address:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
ehlo moto
|
|
mail from:youremail@address.com
|
|
rcpt to:youremail@address.com
|
|
DATA
|
|
from:youremail@address.com
|
|
to:youremail@address.com
|
|
subject: My First Email
|
|
|
|
Hey, this is my first email!
|
|
.
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
!!!note
|
|
If you have not [specifically requested outbound use of port 25](https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/ec2-port-25-throttle/) from AWS, then it is very possible the message will not be delivered.
|
|
|
|
## Curl method for HTTP API
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ curl -H 'Content-Type: application/json' 'http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/inject/v1' -d '{
|
|
"envelope_sender": "noreply@example.com",
|
|
"content": "Subject: hello\n\nHello there",
|
|
"recipients": [
|
|
{
|
|
"email": "recipient@example.com"
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
}'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
See the [HTTP injection API reference](../reference/http/api_inject_v1.md) for
|
|
more information.
|
|
|
|
## Using Swaks for testing
|
|
|
|
Swaks, the [Swiss Army Knife for SMTP](http://www.jetmore.org/john/code/swaks/) by John Jetmore is a fantastic tool for testing.
|
|
|
|
Install Swaks:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
curl -O https://jetmore.org/john/code/swaks/files/swaks-20201014.0.tar.gz
|
|
tar -xvzf swaks-20201014.0.tar.gz
|
|
chmod 755 ./swaks-20201014.0/swaks
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Basic Swaks usage:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
swaks --to user@example.com --server 127.0.0.1 --port 25
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Regardless of testing method used, the next step is to [check the logs](./checking_logs.md). |
