| 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 |

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 |
