Hi,
Thank you for the reply's, for now then I'll just take it that the telnet 
client is having issues and that this will not affect mail transfer when it is sent 
through email client/server's.

Thanks for the help

Subject: [Mimedefang] OT: problem with helo

Hi,
Sorry it's off topic, but I thought someone may know the answer.

When I telnet to my mimedefang box on port 25. I get the standard greeting just fine. 
But if I type 'helo' it returns 'needs a domain' so I then put 'helo domain.com' and I 
am allowed to continue with the mail.

What I have just found on a fresh telnet is, after the greeting if I put 'helo 
domain.com' I get 'command unrecognised' so I then have to put 'helo' and get the 
error and then 'helo domain.com'.

Basically is this just how it is, or is something wrong?

Many thanks

Andrew

There is probably something wrong with your telnet client. It is likely
sending some telnet-protocol data to the server, without having received
any from the server. This SHOULD not happen according to specs.. hmm..
you aren't using a telnet client from Redmondor, are you?
