448629 2006-04-23 00:26:00 Whenever I connect to an smtp server through using telnet. Does the mail server have to have a telnet daemon so that i can do this? newb. (10067)
448630 2006-04-23 00:31:00 What are you trying to achieve ?

An smtp server doesn't have to have a telnet daemon, if your trying to connect to the smtp port for some reason try telnet servername 25

448631 2006-04-23 05:06:00 No, the mail server will happily accept your connection. THe only trouble that communicating via telnet is recommended for humans, you have to enter commands like HELO - true geeky stuff.

here is a list of ports (www.emailaddressmanager.com)

e.g telnet mailserver.somedomain.com 110
