name (for example, “mail.example.com“). For the Port, enter 25. A
second or two later you should see a welcome message. Type “HELO”
followed by the domain name of the computer you are using. For
example, “HELO eagle.example.com“. Then, after you get a response,
type “MAIL FROM: my.email.address@example.com” (using your E-mail
address on your mail server), and then “RCPT TO:
my.email.address@example.com“. Then, type “DATA”, “Subject: Test”, a
blank line, “Test”, and then “.”. After the response, type QUIT. Make
sure that you get a copy of this E-mail. If you do not (it could take
some time if you are using a slow mailserver outside your domain as a
backup), try it again (in case you made a mistake). If you don’t get
that second test message, you probably have a serious problem (you may
get an E-mail back saying the message wasn’t deliverable).
