You can verify the SMTP service is working with the telnet command. From a command prompt run: telnet SMTP.Server.or.IP.Address.com 25 The server should respond with a 220 message if it is working correctly (type QUIT to end, you should get a 221 message). ,—– [ UC = You type, LC= SMTP Service response ] | C:\>TELNET SMTP.MYDOMAIN.COM 25 | 220 mydomain.com ESMTP | QUIT | 221 mydomain.com | | Connection to host lost.
