The following table lists the SMTP commands that are provided by the Microsoft Windows® SMTP service (SMTPSVC).

SMTP commands

SMTP command Command function
HELO Sent   by a client to identify itself, usually with a domain name.
EHLO Enables   the server to identify its support for Extended Simple Mail Transfer Protocol   (ESMTP) commands.
MAIL   FROM Identifies   the sender of the message; used in the form MAIL FROM:.
RCPT   TO Identifies   the message recipients; used in the form RCPT TO:.
TURN Allows   the client and server to switch roles and send mail in the reverse direction   without having to establish a new connection.
ATRN The   ATRN (Authenticated TURN) command optionally takes one or more domains as a   parameter. The ATRN command must be rejected if the session has not been   authenticated.
SIZE Provides   a mechanism by which the SMTP server can indicate the maximum size message   supported. Compliant servers must provide size extensions to indicate the   maximum size message that can be accepted. Clients should not send messages   that are larger than the size indicated by the server.
ETRN An   extension of SMTP. ETRN is sent by an SMTP server to request that another   server send any e-mail messages that it has.
PIPELINING Provides   the ability to send a stream of commands without waiting for a response after   each command.
CHUNKING An   ESMTP command that replaces the DATA command. So that the SMTP host does not   have to continuously scan for the end of the data, this command sends a BDAT   command with an argument that contains the total number of bytes in a   message. The receiving server counts the bytes in the message and, when the   message size equals the value sent by the BDAT command, the server assumes it   has received all of the message data.
DATA Sent   by a client to initiate the transfer of message content.
DSN An   ESMTP command that enables delivery status notifications.
RSET Nullifies   the entire message transaction and resets the buffer.
VRFY Verifies   that a mailbox is available for message delivery; for example, vrfy ted   verifies that a mailbox for Ted resides on the local server. This command is   off by default in Exchange implementations.
HELP Returns   a list of commands that are supported by the SMTP service.
QUIT Terminates   the session.
