For the true net.studs among us, telnet mail.server.tld:25 should be listed.

    True FoxtrotUniform,
    but what about telnet mail.server 110??

    i'v done that a more than a few times to get around (very) tight "security" at my school before.....
      Given choice I prefer talking to IMAP via telnet. It's a horrible protocol to implement, but it's fun to talk to...
