Like I say it may be doing exactly what it is supposed to do. But
from a practical standpoint it is a case where mail will not
deliver. It has happened enough to me that I've had to resort to
the hosts work-around. But that's because we are so small that we
become aware of these idiosyncrasies.

Ah, I see. I never get a response at all from telnet. It just
times out from here for me (on 2 of my networks anyway). I
haven't tested from IMAIL directly.
I am suspicious because of my previous experience. My clients
really don't care about the technicalities - just want their mail
delivered.
The only work-around I know is to force an entry to the hosts
file but at least you can do that.
