    Actually, it looks OK. My mistake:

    trey@salamander:~/Desktop> telnet mail.alltel.net 25
    Trying 166.102.165.30...
    Connected to mail.alltel.net.
    Escape character is '^]'.
    220 ispmxmta06-srv.alltel.net ESMTP server ready Mon, 31 Jan 2005
    16:29:06 -0600
    quit
    221 ispmxmta06-srv.alltel.net ESMTP server closing connection
    Connection closed by foreign host.
