Here is the correct telnet connection... Missed a part.. To test your SMTP server.. with telnet.. telnet 127.0.0.1 25 (or your machine IP address) response trying 127... connecting Escape char... you type helo homer response 250 domain you type mail from: response 250 ok you type rcpt to: response 250 ok you type data response 354 go ahead you type Subject : a test you type this is a test. you type . <-- (that's a period) response 250 okay ... you type quit response 221 domain .. response connection closed by foreign host Now, if you get an error on the telnet commands, such as "Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused" if you get this... your SMTP service is not properly configured. -- Gary
