  • lol, you need telnet to your SMTP port, then type ehlo localhost

  • hehe so telnet wasnt installed? I will try to install it and report back. Thank you

  • @webdev telnet is already installed but still

    -su: ehlo: command not found

  • that means telnet can't connect to your smtp port, so it's quit, you need type that in telnet...

  • for example, telnet www.google.com 80, and you will know what's it looks like...

    You should telnet to localhost:25 (telnet localhost 25) then EHLO

  • He is trying to type ehlo in a shell as a shell command rather than as part of SMTP protocol.

  • Ohhhhh thank you everyone so ehlo is command of telnet not of the console! I tried it and it worked!
