Re: -i parameter not working correctly?

[Daniel Miller <bonsaiviking () gmail com>]

Robert,

Thanks for the bug report! I've entered it into our bug tracker at
http://issues.nmap.org/60 so that we don't lose track of it. Until someone
can look at and fix the issue, have you tried prefixing your commands with
a blank line? If the SMTP server doesn't treat that "line" as a command,
then the interval ought to start properly.
