Re: overriding output from telnet

try it from dos :p
you can automate smtp testing by using tools like netcat (and netcat works on system i).

Follow the following scripted actions to possibly assist finding the
text that passes by too quickly to view:

TRCJOB *ON
TELNET ('xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx') PORT(25)
;; type in stuff and see error flash by
;; returned to command line I presume...
TRCJOB *OFF
DSPSPLF QPSRVTRCJ SPLNBR(*LAST) /* QPSRVTRC for pre-v5r4 */
;; type RCP in the /Find/ field and press F16=Find
;; repeat F16=Find until message CPI3406 about EOF\wrap find
;; visually scan the eye-catcher data

I verified that the email address is correct.

I played around with
http://zmailer.org/cgi-bin/mxverify-cgi?DOMAIN=MyCust.COM

Then I picked one of the IP addresses provided and tried this
TELNET ('xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx') PORT(25)

and then did this:
220 *******************************

502 5.5.2 Error: command not recogn
RSET
250 XXXXXXXA
EHLO fromhere.COM
250-something-this.somethingelse-morestuff.net

RSET

MAIL FROM:<me@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
250 2.1.0 Ok
RCPT TO:<contact.name@xxxxxxxxxx>

When I press enter on that last line a message pops up but it whizzes by
so fast I can't make it out. It then shuts down my telnet session.
I am just sure this contact name is right.

Warning: typos are not accepted and cannot be corrected with a back
space. So, it took me a few times to enter this right without any typos.
