Did you use the Telnet opion in putty when connecting ?
You can also try connecting on localhost via the IBMi telnet client. I used to test like that all the time back when SMTP was easier to use 😊

subject: Re: IBM i as email relay
A Windows support person (not knowledgeable about IBM i) said this:
<snip>
The only context I can give here is the following. A Windows relay acts this way and I have to presume that the IBM is similar.
All 3 of these are related but separate.
- A local server needs to be listening on port 25. I would agree that
it seems like this is true based on the netstat.
- The local server ?allows connection? from everywhere, specific
networks, and/or specific hosts.
- The local server ?allows email relay? from everywhere, specific
networks, and/or specific hosts.
It would seem if you cannot even connect via PuTTY that the second item is not in place.

Seem reasonable? How/where do I check that?

When you connect to port 25 try typing HELO (sic) and hit enter a
