Is SquirrelMail running on the same host as the SMTP server?  If not,
try the telnet command from the server running SquirrelMail and see if
you get a response.

Also, what's the "-l postmaster" for on the end? Not needed to
validate basic communication, plus you're not logging into anything
using telnet, it's SMTP, a totally different protocol, it just happens
to be plaintext, and the telnet client can "talk" to it.
