takizo, not takezo

Problem :

- got an bounce error after sending email using Thunderbird, apple Mail, Outlook, Outlook Express, Opera and etc

- check out email account existence on recipient server

- testing email server on SMTP port

- testing firewall rules on SMTP port

Solution :

- telnet <email recipient domain MX address> 25

- use commands e.g. helo, mail from, rcpt to, data & quit

- e.g.

• telnet somedomain@nowhere.com 25
• helo sendingfromdomain.com
• mail from:sender@sendingfromdomain.com
• rcpt to:to@youremail.com
• data
• this is the body of the email
• type a . (literally) at a new line to indicate finishing body (the next line with a “dot” only is an example)
• .
• quit

Voila !
