Telnet to port 25 of your server:
telnet water.ndic.com 25


The server shows the 220 SMTP greeting and other numeric codes when you send SMTP commands such a HELO. telnet 25 won't see the HELO

Hmmm... from my *nix box:

   mail# telnet 10.34.129.12 25
   Trying 10.34.129.12...
   Connected to imail.reilcorp.com.
   Escape character is '^]'.
   220 massat.net Hello Mailserver! X1
   helo test
   250 hello massat.net
   quit
   221 Goodbye
   Connection closed by foreign host.

From my w2k command prompt:

   C:\>telnet 10.34.129.12 25
   Connecting To mail.massat.net...
   220 massat.net Hello Mailserver! X1
   helo test
   250 hello massat.net
   quit
   221 Goodbye

   Connection to host lost.

   C:\>

220 plus what I set in SMTP Advanced, Hello Message.
So, what exactly am I missing or not seeing???
