Doh! I don't know why I thought I had to have Telnet running on the

You don't have to have telnet on the server. It's a client app. You can
# telnet <mailhost> 25
to any email transport server, so long as there is connectivity.
(Perhaps you're thinking of ssh??)

I know how to use telnet, but I don't activate it on my servers
because it's insecure. I'll take a look at it later. It's not that

your mail client
