Here's my `typescript' of a telnet SMTP session to newsguy. As you can see, it worked perfectly. Soon after recording this session, I went back and sent myself some email via another telnet session to `smtp.newsguy.com', and it worked fine. Did you connect to `smtp.newsguy.com' or perhaps some other `newsguy' host? Script started on Sun Dec 17 16:16:46 2000 1> telnet smtp.newsguy.com 25 Trying 209.155.56.71...
