Ok. To test the server out
1) telnet mailserver port 25 (ie. telnet mail.somehost.com 25)
It should respond like this:
220 mail.somehost.com ESMTP
2) tell it hello:
HELO bogus.noyb.com
NOTE: There is only 1 L in the command.
It should respond like:
250-mail.somehost.com
250-PIPELINING
250 8BITMIME
3) Tell it who it is from:
MAIL FROM:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
It should respond :
250 MAIL FROM:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> OK
4) Tell it who the mail is for:
RCPT TO: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
If it responds with an error or something like this:
553 sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts (#5.7.1)
Then it is OK. If it responds
250 RCPT TO:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> OK
Then the email server is WIDE open and vulnerable to becomming a spammer.
