Is this correct forum to post in??

I have a brain fart here...

Im trying to communicate (telnet) between 2 servers using port 25... How do I make this work?
 
at a command prompt try:

telnet 10.10.10.10 25


Not sure if that is what you are looking for but thats how i do it if im testing smtp.

10.10.10.10 is an example ip by the way. ;-)
 
i tried that... couldnt connect. both servers are behind a router but not between the 2 and on same subnet...


i tried it with the server IP not 10.10.10.10 ;-)
 
your server isn't listening on port 25 by default... do you have a mail server running on here? Does a standard telnet work over the standard port?

yes we do have a mail server, exchange server. trying to connect to that server for the other server to email forms out to outside clients...
