A telnet connection to SMTP or POP3 service will show a pair of numbers near the end of the response line, the first is the number of connections since last restart and the second is the current number of connections (including your telnet session). 220 MAILSERVER1.MYDOMAIN.COM (IMail 9.04 493102-16) NT-ESMTP Server X1
This server has had 493,102 connections since restart and currently has 15 other connections... and needs to be updated to 9.10. The time it takes to return the response is something of a clue to how busy the server is, too. It should be pretty quick, a second or 2, but up to 10 seconds is not unusual. Restart the service and you should see immediate improvements in performance...
