Hi,
	Thank you for the reply's, for now then I'll just take it that the telnet client is having issues and that this will not affect mail transfer when it is sent through email client/server's.

Thanks for the help

Subject: [Mimedefang] OT: problem with helo

Hi,
	Sorry it's off topic, but I thought someone may know the answer.

When I telnet to my mimedefang box on port 25. I get the standard greeting just fine. But if I type 'helo' it returns 'needs a domain' so I then put 'helo domain.com' and I am allowed to continue with the mail.

What I have just found on a fresh telnet is, after the greeting if I put 'helo domain.com' I get 'command unrecognised' so I then have to put 'helo' and get the error and then 'helo domain.com'.

Basically is this just how it is, or is something wrong?

Many thanks

Andrew
