I know, but that does not help me.  Connecting to port 25 of the telnet server 
is working.  The commands mail and quit are giving an error on all smtp 
servers I tried.  Even on the ones that are green in hobbit.
I just want to know if I can find out exactly what's the communication between 
the smtp server and the hobbit server so I can see what's going wrong.
