Simply telnet to mailserver on port 25 and type what I've shown, substituting valid email addresses and valid addresses in your domain as indicated. You can use your own domain for the hello command, i.e. "helo mydomain.com". Everything between the data command and the '.' is input to the data command. After you type the '.' the message will be sent and should be delivered to the user on the "rcpt to" line. You should see logging of successful delivery or errors in the maillog. Nataraj
