When you do the "HELO" command, the server should reply with something. For example: == $ telnet smtp.comcast.net 25 Trying 76.96.40.155... Connected to smtp.comcast.net. Escape character is '^]'. 220 omta12.emeryville.ca.mail.comcast.net comcast ESMTP server ready HELO comcast.net 250 omta12.emeryville.ca.mail.comcast.net hello [69.24.1.7], pleased to meet you == Does the mail server ever return anything back to you? _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
