[kwlug-disc] Testing a mail port

[Khalid Baheyeldin]

Works on port 25 from here.

$ telnet mail.ufn.com 25
Trying 54.235.159.86...
Connected to mail.ufn.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 mail.ufn.com Welcome to the @Mail SMTP Server ( Exim )
HELO myserver.example.com
250 mail.ufn.com Hello myserver.example.com [xx.xx.xx.xx]

For port 587 it hangs until it times out.
