No...the telnet test is no different than the communications that takes
place between your email client software program and the email server at
mydomain.org. The process, the responses, everything is the
same...assuming you are using the same port in your telnet testing. Did
you actually send
telnet mail.mydomain.org 25
or
telnet mail.mydomain.rg smtp
?
Without the port info, the telnet app will default to port 23...which
won't work for SMTP.
Yes, I sent the port.
However, if I don't tell my POP client to save my email password, it will
ask for my password when I attempt to send an email. I see that with both
Eudora and Thunderbird. What is being done with that password then, that
isn't being done with Telnet?
