Of course, you can always do it the way we used to--still do for some
testing:
#telnet localhost 25

In the above, the lines starting with codes are the responses from the MTA.
Of course, there are some gotchas today. It may not be on port 25. You
may not have 'telnet', or have access to it. And if the connection
requires authentication, there's more armwaving; for something like that,
see:

(I can do the above from memory; I have to look up the AUTH sequence.)
