"Now, use simple SMTP commands to send a test email.  This is very important, you CANNOT use the backspace key, it will work onscreen but not be interpreted correctly.  You have to type these commands perfectly.\n\nehlo mydomain.com\nmail from:<martin9700@mydomain.com>\nrcpt to:<recipient@theirdomain.com>\ndata\nThis is a test, please do not respond\n.\nquit\n\n\nSo, what does that all mean?\nEHLO - introduce yourself to the mail server HELO can also be used but EHLO tells the server to use the extended command set (not that we're using that).\n\nMAIL FROM - who's sending the email.  Make sure to place this is the greater than/less than brackets as many email servers will require this (Postini).\n\nRCPT TO - who you're sending it to.  Again you need to use the brackets.  See Step #4 on how to test relaying mail!\n\nDATA - tells the SMTP server that what follows is the body of your email.  Make sure to hit \"Enter\" at the end.\n\n. - the period alone on the line tells the SMTP server you're all done with the data portion and it's clear to send the email.\n\nquit - exits the TELNET session.\n"
