When our company had some problems with Exchange 2000 on a server a while back, Microsoft had me try e-mailing using HELO or EHLO from the command prompt. I tried this a few times, sometimes working, sometimes not. I did not write down how I was doing it though (stupid me). Does anybody know the commands to send e-mail on a WIN2K system to a mailbox on an Exchange 2K server?

Do it with telnet.exe. With this client connect to the SMTP-Port on the exchange machine, and use further the commands assigned to the SMTP-Protocol. The following is a trace of an communication wirth the Message System aixperts.aixperts.de via telnet-Session:
