that's wholly in script realm (man 1 socket; in Debian it's its own pkg), eg:

~$ rm -f /tmp/a.log; socket -q -p "ash /tmp/a" localhost 25; cat /tmp/a.log

c=220 r=npp MasqMail 0.2.21 ESMTP
c=250 r=npp pretty old mailer, huh?
c=250 r=OK xx@localhost is a nice guy.
c=250 r=OK oopla@localhost is our friend.
c=354 r=okay, and do not forget the dot
c=250 r=OK id=1LJ8Z8-5Pt-00

with:
#---[/tmp/a]----------------------------------------------
|#!/bin/ash
|leggi() {
|  while read c r;do
|    echo c=$c r=$r >>/tmp/a.log
|    case $c in
|      250) return 0 ;;
|      3*) return 0 ;;
|      5*) return 1 ;;
|      *) ;;
|    esac
|  done
|}

|echo helo npp
|leggi || exit 1
|echo mail from: xx@localhost
|leggi || exit 1
|echo rcpt to: oopla@localhost
|leggi || exit 1
|echo data
|leggi || exit 1
|echo subject: prova
|echo ""
|echo prova
|echo .
|leggi || exit 1
|#rm /tmp/a.log
