A little about myself. I like to write Tcl/Tk programs, with the influence on the Tk part. I've also been practicing how to work with sockets, packages, and tcllib's MIME package.
I also have a few web pages, each for getting around the others limitation/policy. The most updated pages are listed first. However, they are all meant to be mirrors of each other.
I'm leaving these here for posterity's sake. They are no longer active.
I have also created some examples using Tcl/Tk which can be found on those pages. I will also make a list at the end of this document (with the code) of the scripts I've written, which I feel may be used by others. They may not always be cross-platform (I am in a Windows world) but I will try to write to that purpose.
JMN 2006-03-30 Using the mime package is I guess a correct but somewhat over-inventive way of encoding the username/password for SMTP Authentication.
More efficient would be to use the base64 packag from tcllib.
package require base64 set username_encoded [base64::encode $username]
Examples and free-to-use scripts
TOC
1 Email Authentication with MIME - uses tcllib's MIME package
2 Server Access - server.access.tcl - see the raw data to/from servers such as SMTP, POP, HTTP, FTP, etc. (Latest edit, included a catch for EOF statements from the server. Before this was added, the script would lock up. Written for MS Windows, soon to have a *nix version)

In the IP/URL:port line insert your IP or URL and the port number
i.e. mail.mymailserver.net:110
or 128.0.0.1:25
The command line will send whatever is on the line to the port.
SMTP (port 25) commands are:
HELO (takes the username)
MAIL FROM: (where the email is coming from) DATA (the email data)
HELP (gives list of available commands)
QUIT (logs out and closes connection)
POP (port 110) commands are:
USER (Username, for logon)
PASS (Password, for logon)
STAT (displays number of emails and total size)
LIST (list all emails and size)
RETR # (displays specific email)
DELE # (deletes specific email)
QUIT (logs out and closes connection)
FTP (port 21) I am unsure of all the commands for FTP.
