Close, but it won't let me put in invalid data. The error I'm trying to track down is:
"Helo command rejected: need fully-qualified hostname" I think it is coming from a blank or non-existent RCPT TO: field My ISP is claiming their stand-in is getting these bounced back to them when they relay for us and my server is bouncing the message. They say it is creating a loop. If I could see what was bouncing and why, I could try to configure it to drop instead of bounce.

My ISP is claiming certain responses from my mail server and I would like to verify it. I tried telneting in from home but my home ISP blocks traffic on port 25. I can't test from inside my firewall because my firewall provides SMTP proxy which is probably the culprit. But my question is, without trying out all of my friend's ISPs until one lets me through, is there a service I can use to open a SMTP session from my desk and have it run commands and show me a session log? Legitimate mail won't work because I need to send a non-compliant mail that will bounce to verify the error. Some sort of proxy terminal on the web somewhere would work just fine.
