telnet yellow.csi.cam.ac.uk 25
Trying 131.111.8.67...
Connected to yellow.csi.cam.ac.uk.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 yellow.csi.cam.ac.uk ESMTP Exim 3.22 #1 Sat, 19 Jan 2002 19:01:26 +0000
* It says that it's Exim
MAIL FROM: test@csi.cam.ac
250 <test@csi.cam.ac> is syntactically correct

RCPT TO: BillGates@microsoft.com

blacklisted)
