Telnet
To test the application operation using Telnet it is necessary to:
1. Configure the connection to the server and the application using
Telnet. Enter the following string:

where the host address and port are values set in the [smtpgw.network] section
for the ListenOn option during the installation.
2. After the connection is established, wait for a response from the
smtpgw component. You will see the following information:
220 smtpgw.company.com ESMTP
where smtpgw.company.com is the name of the server being
tested
3. To confirm the connection to the server, type the following
command:
