I guess blew past that,.. okay so just kill the session and use
a client. I thought i would be able to then send or type a test
message like MAIL FROM: soandso

You can (
openssl s_client -connect host:port
provided that you avoid the R and Q characters.
Just use lowercase input.

Yes, but it's troublesome with little reward. Manually learning and
typing in the SMTP specification is nice to know, but not necessary and
probably confusing for the stage the OP is at. For example, to use AUTH
properly, you have to manually Base64-encode your inputs (I used a
web-site utility to do so). In any case, I've enclosed an example
transaction with private data redacted. My comments are in [].
# openssl s_client -connect smtp.example.com:465
220 smtp.example.com ESMTP Postfix
HELO example.com
250 example.com
AUTH login
