Larry's response is correct except for this one detail. Actually, this message has a Subject: header and a non-conformant "This" header and no body. The body must be separated from the headers by an empty line.
Oops. I looked at the original way too quickly. Thanks, Mark, for correcting my post. The lesson in this is that SMTP, like almost all computer command sets, is very intolerant of even the slightest mistake. It does exactly what you tell it to do and has no idea what you meant when you get it wrong. Using Telnet to test SMTP has its uses (I do it to make sure the anti-spam controls on the commands works since that's hard to do by other means) but unless you are prepared to type everything in painful detail, expect weird results. Mailman is best tested with real messages sent by a proper MUA.
