I may have steered you wrong. Do you accept mail on the box you telnet'd
from? Is port 25 open, in other words? If you only send from your box
and use something like fetchmail to retrieve mail, this relay test won't
work, I don't think. Also, I think you need to be root when you telnet.

I'm attaching the report I just got.

Correction. The list bounced that. So, here's an excerpt:
