description = [[
Attempts to relay mail by issuing a predefined combination of SMTP commands. The goal
of this script is to tell if a SMTP server is vulnerable to mail relaying.

An SMTP server that works as an open relay, is a email server that does not verify if the
user is authorised to send email from the specified email address. Therefore, users would
be able to send email originating from any third-party email address that they want.

The checks are done based in combinations of MAIL FROM and RCPT TO commands. The list is
hardcoded in the source file. The script will output all the working combinations that the
server allows if nmap is in verbose mode otherwise the script will print the number of
successful tests. The script will not output if the server requires authentication.

If debug is enabled and an error occurs while testing the target host, the error will be
printed with the list of any combinations that were found prior to the error.

-- @usage
-- nmap --script smtp-open-relay.nse [--script-args smtp-open-relay.domain=<domain>,smtp-open-relay.ip=<address>,...] -p 25,465,587 <host>
--
-- @output
-- Host script results:
-- | smtp-open-relay: Server is an open relay (1/16 tests)
-- |_MAIL FROM:<antispam@insecure.org> -> RCPT TO:<relaytest@insecure.org>
--
-- @args smtp.domain or smtp-open-relay.domain Define the domain to be used in the anti-spam tests and EHLO command (default
-- is nmap.scanme.org)
-- @args smtp-open-relay.ip Use this to change the IP address to be used (default is the target IP address)
-- @args smtp-open-relay.from Define the source email address to be used (without the domain, default is
-- antispam)
-- @args smtp-open-relay.to Define the destination email address to be used (without the domain, default is
-- relaytest)

-- changelog
-- 2007-05-16 Arturo 'Buanzo' Busleiman <buanzo@buanzo.com.ar>
--   + Added some strings to return in different places
--   * Changed "HELO www.[ourdomain]" to "EHLO [ourdomain]"
--   * Fixed some API differences
--   * The "ourdomain" variable's contents are used instead of hardcoded "insecure.org". Settable by the user.
--   * Fixed tags -> categories (reported by Jasey DePriest to nmap-dev)
-- 2009-09-20 Duarte Silva <duarte.silva@serializing.me>
--   * Rewrote the script
--   + Added documentation and some more comments
--   + Parameter to define the domain to be used instead of "ourdomain" variable
--   + Parameter to define the IP address to be used instead of the target IP address
--   * Script now detects servers that enforce authentication
--   * Changed script categories from demo to discovery and intrusive
--   * Renamed "spamtest" strings to "antispam"
-- 2010-02-20 Duarte Silva <duarte.silva@serializing.me>
--   * Renamed script parameters to follow the new naming convention
--   * Fixed problem with broken connections
--   * Changed script output to show all the successful tests
--   * Changed from string concatenation to string formatting
--   + External category
--   + Now the script will issue the QUIT message as specified in the SMTP RFC
-- 2010-02-27 Duarte Silva <duarte.silva@serializing.me>
--   + More information in the script description
--   + Script will output the reason for failed commands (at the connection level)
--   * If some combinations were already found before an error, the script will report them
-- 2010-03-07 Duarte Silva <duarte.silva@serializing.me>
--   * Fixed socket left open when receive_lines function call fails
--   * Minor comments changes
-- 2010-03-14 Duarte Silva <duarte.silva@serializing.me>
--   * Made the script a little more verbose
-- 2011-06-03
--   * Rewrite the script to use the smtp.lua library.
