Con este cliente de mail es mucho más sencillo probar plugins como Advanced Email Plugin. Bastará con descargarlo, iniciarlo y poner como servidor SMTP la IP y el puerto del servidor de jive-sbs y el puerto del plugin(Default:2500).

Tan sencillo como eso. Una aplicación ideal para llevar en el Pendrive... ni idea para que, si tenés internet tenés el cliente web... pero bueh... para testear es una salvación. Ahorra el trabajo de mandar los mails por telnet (para evitar pasos engorrosos de configuración)

To install the latest Firefox 3.5  (final) or Firefox 3.6 in Ubuntu, open a terminal and:
sudo sh -c "echo 'deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main' >> /etc/apt/sources.list"
sudo sh -c "echo 'deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main' >> /etc/apt/sources.list"
Then  add the Launchpad PPA GPG key:

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 247510BE

Or  use the automatic Launchpad PPA script to add the GPG key.

And  finally, install Firefox 3.5 final:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install firefox-3.5

or Firefox 3.6 pre alpha:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install firefox-3.6


If  you already have a version of Firefox 3.5 installed from a repo:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade


To isolate the VM's virtual clock from the physical host system's clock, you will first need to add these entries to a virtual machine's associated .vmx configuration file while the VM is powered off:

tools.syncTime = "FALSE"

time.synchronize.continue = "FALSE"

time.synchronize.restore = "FALSE"

time.synchronize.resume.disk = "FALSE"

time.synchronize.shrink = "FALSE"

time.synchronize.tools.startup = "FALSE"

To make the changes, navigate to the folder containing the virtual machine's configuration file and open the configuration (.vmx) file using a text editor such as Notepad. Once you have added the lines shown above, save the .vmx file. Note that the line tools.syncTime may already be present in the .vmx file, so you will just need to make sure that it is set to False. The lines starting with time.synchronize.continue should be added after the tools.syncTime line. For more information on VMware time synchronization, the document "Time Keeping in VMware Virtual Machines" is a very good read.

With these entries in the VM's .vmx file, each time you create a snapshot of the VM, the date and time of the VM's virtual clock will be preserved. So if you need to use the VM a week later and revert to the previous snapshot, the VM will resume running and with its system clock set to the date and time of the snapshot. Tech Help—Just An

You can force the VM's virtual clock to start at a pre-set time (such as one minute after the date/time stamp on the VM's virtual hard disk file) by adding the rtc.startTime value to the VM's .vmx configuration file. When present, the value associated with rtc.startTime sets the VM's clock to a specified Unix timestamp. For example, to make a VM think the date is Jan. 2, 2007 and the time is 4:24 p.m. Eastern time (GMT -5), you enter the following in the .vmx file:

rtc.startTime = 1167773040

 

If you're from this planet (not like me) and can't convert current times to Unix timestamps in your head (like me), try using the online Unix Timestamp Converter http://www.4webhelp.net/us/timestamp.php 

 

Keep in mind that if you add the rtc.startTime value, you also need to add the lines (listed earlier) to disable time synchronization to the .vmx file as well.

  1. Type “telnet”, hit Enter.
  2. Type “open mail.YourDomain.com 25″ (replace YourDomain.com with your domain name. And replace the default port 25 if necessary), hit Enter.
  3. Type “HELO”, hit Enter.
  4. Type “AUTH LOGIN”, hit Enter.

Your telnet window should look like the following now.

Telnet email

Now, you now need to enter your full email address and then your password encoded in BASE64. To convert your full email address and your password to BASE64, you can use this handy BASE64 encoding tool. Enter your email, click on “Encode”, copy that encoded value in the telnet session and press Enter. After that do the same for your password.

 

If your username (the full email address) and password are entered correctly, the mail server should respond with “Authentication successful”.

Authentication successful

OK, so far so good. You have just authenticated yourself with the mail server and now can start entering the email details.

  1. Type “MAIL FROM:YourUserName@YourDomain.com size=100″ (replace YourUserName@YourDomain.com with your full email address. The size should be properly computed but I was lazy so I simply put in 100 and it worked on my mail server), hit Enter
    Enter “RCPT TO:DestinationEmail@DestinationDomain.com” (replace DestinationEmail@DestinationDomain.com with the destination email)
  2. Type “DATA”, hit Enter
  3. Type “Subject:Sending email using Telnet”, hit Enter
  4. Type “”  (Send a blank line to separate the headers from the message body), hit Enter
  5. Type “This is just a simple test.”, hit Enter
  6. Type “.”, hit Enter

The server should respond with “250 OK”.
Type “quit” and hit Enter to exit.

SMTP email

Check your mailbox or if you sent it to somebody else ask that person if he or she receive the test email. :)

Notes:

  • If you entered the steps above wrongly or if you forgot one or two commands, the mail server might respond with “503 Bad sequence of commands”.
  • If the mail server responded with something like “550 You have sent no HELO! Please see RFC 2821 section 4.1.1.1″ to your HELO command, then you can try supplying your domain name following HELO. For example “HELO localhost.com”.
  • Some mail servers do not require the “size” attribute and will respond with something like “501 username@domainname.com size=100: malformed address: size=100 may not follow username@domainname.com”. In this case just drop the size attribute.
  • Our test emails are likely to end up in the spam box, so make sure you look into that folder if you couldn’t find them in the inbox.

 

 

I am no expert in SMTP email protocols, the above are just some guidelines to get you started. Have fun with SMTP emails and telnet!
