CHAPTER 6. TESTING
APPLICATION OPERABILITY
After you install and configure Kaspersky SMTP-Gateway, it is recommended
that you test its settings and operability by using the following two methods:
• Telnet program
• EICAR test virus.
6.1. Testing the application using
Telnet
To test the application operation using Telnet it is necessary to:
1. Configure the connection to the server with the installed application
using Telnet. To do so, enter the following in the command line:
telnet <smtpgw host address> <port>
where the host address and port are values assigned to the
ListenOn option in the [smtpgw.network] section of the
application configuration file.
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. After the connection to the server is confirmed, type the following in
the command line:
EHLO <fqdn>
where <fqdn> stands for a full qualified domain name of the
host, which establishes connection.
You will see the following (or similar) information:
250-smtpgw.company.com hello user [127.0.0.1]
250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES
