try
telnet localhost smtp
on your server shell acct or
telnet localhost 25
if your services file is crazy enough not to have smtp noted :)
Then, once it greets you, type
HELO
and press the ENTER key
Then type
QUIT
and press the ENTER key
You've just had a chat with sendmail (most likely) or another
SMTP-speaking program.
