telnet login.

HI I have a very simple question.
I am trying to logon using telnet in a dos prompt I type
telnet servername port "Return"
and this is what I get...
220 vt-odin SMTP Server (JAMES SMTP Server 2.0a1) ready Fri, 8 Feb 2002
14:59:58

There is no login prompt and no command list. Typing help or anything
displays error
500 VTUKL072 Syntax error, command unrecognized:root

Very trivial and very frustrating.

Can someone save me some embarrassment please?

there used to be an example in config.xml, if it has gone it might be worth
collating everyone's experiences into a web page..

SMTP server default port is 25, there is obviously a connection since the
server responds but how do you login as an Administrator.

Telnet to the port specified in your conf.  Default is 4555 I believe.

James, you are right. smtp port is 25 but to logon to as administrator you
use port 4555.
Everyone know that...

example SMTP session ..

type exactly as between the "" (swap the mail addresses for real ones), but
leave the "<"'s & ">"'s the white space and the dot *are* significant.

"MAIL FROM:<ro...@localhost>
RCPT TO:<us...@localhost>
DATA
To:user@localhost
From:root@localhost
Subject:test message

test message body
.

It uses the SMTP protocol, lookup the RFC using Google and
It has the protocol.

Try

HELO ( you should see a hello from ... )
QUIT (gets you out)

I forget the other commands, but they are like
SUBJ xxx
FROM xxx
TO   xxx
MSG xxxxxxxxx until ^D?
SEND maybe
