Scenario   Your domain  mydomain com  Domain you wish to send to  theirdomain com  1     Determine the mail server you re sending to   Open a CMD prompt   Type   NSLOOKUP   set q mx   theirdomain com   Response    Non-authoritative answer   theirdomain com MX preference   50  mail exchanger   mail theirdomain com  Nslookup big   EDIT Be sure to type exit to terminate NSLOOKUP   2     Connect to their mail server  SMTP communicates over port 25  We will now try to use TELNET to connect to their mail server  mail theirdomain com   Open a CMD prompt   TELNET MAIL THEIRDOMAIN COM 25   You should see something like this as a response    220 mx google com ESMTP 6si6253627yxg 6   Be aware that different servers will come up with different greetings but you should get SOMETHING  If nothing comes up at this point there are 2 possible problems  Port 25 is being blocked at your firewall  or their server is not responding  Try a different domain  if that works then it s not you   3     Send an Email  Now  use simple SMTP commands to send a test email  This is very important  you CANNOT use the backspace key  it will work onscreen but not be interpreted correctly  You have to type these commands perfectly   ehlo mydomain com  mail from  lt martin9700 mydomain com gt   rcpt to  lt recipient theirdomain com gt   data  This is a test  please do not respond    quit   So  what does that all mean   EHLO - introduce yourself to the mail server HELO can also be used but EHLO tells the server to use the extended command set  not that we re using that    MAIL FROM - who s sending the email  Make sure to place this is the greater than less than brackets as many email servers will require this  Postini    RCPT TO - who you re sending it to  Again you need to use the brackets  See Step  4 on how to test relaying mail   DATA - tells the SMTP server that what follows is the body of your email  Make sure to hit  Enter  at the end     - the period alone on the line tells the SMTP server you re all done with the data portion and it s clear to send the email   quit - exits the TELNET session   4     Test SMTP relay Testing SMTP relay is very easy  and simply requires a small change to the above commands  See below   ehlo mydomain com  mail from  lt martin9700 mydomain com gt   rcpt to  lt recipient someotherdomain com gt   data  This is a test  please do not respond     quit   See the difference  On the RCPT TO line  we re sending to a domain that is not controlled by the SMTP server we re sending to  You will get an immediate error is SMTP relay is turned off  If you re able to continue and send an email  then relay is allowed by that server
