That would be rather defeating the purpose if they blocked port 25 (SMTP). If they accept mail, they accept telnet on smtp, because it's the same thing. Anyway, before stating this, you could try it: $ telnet mail.hotmail.com 25 Trying 209.1.112.253... Connected to mail.hotmail.com. Escape character is '^]'. 220 m17.hotmail.com Server SMTP ready at Sat, 31 Oct 1998 15:34:37 -0000 ehlo ehlo 550 Unknown command 'ehlo' (it is a primitive non-ESMTP mailer) helo wxs.nl 250 m36.hotmail.com Hello wxs.nl (and it believes anything you say) quit 221 m17.hotmail.com Out Well, it's definitely not sendmail quality, but it appears to work. Since Gregorio didn't tell us anything about his setup, there's not much else I can do.
