Recently I have been trying to diagnose a problem with my email server. In order to do this I Telnet an SMTP session with the server to which I am sending mail. Previously I could never see the text I was typing because I couldn't figure out how to turn on echo for the telnet session. Today I figured out that once I have started the telnet session I can enter
SET LOCAL_ECHO
to turn on echo and view what I am typing into the telnet session.
A full SMTP Telnet sample appears below:
220 mailgate.cesmail.net ESMTP HELO mail.michaelis.net 250 mailgate.cesmail.net MAIL FROM: me2you@my.domain.com 250 ok RCPT TO: you@your.domain.com 250 ok DATA Subject: Test Email This is the test message of the email . 250 ok QUIT
The text in darkslategray is what the remote computer responds with.
