I don't know what you mean by "speaking SMTP". If you are referring to sending the correct SMTP "commands" to tell it HELO/OLEH or whatever, I don't even get that far. It literally connects, then right away disconnects...I don't even get the usual SMTP banner. I'm going to check out that link though, thanks!
Sorry Brian, getting tired.
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:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
response 250 ok
you type rcpt to:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
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.
