Re: Testing SMTP mail relay via telnet
The only thing i would add is that on a lot of implementations, the first outbound email communication that gets tested is the shipment tender notification to the service provider.

In this case, OTM uses the LOGISTICS involved party contact defined on the order base, which gets copied to the shipment, as the basis of the email address for the "From:" contact on the outbound email.

If you are seeing issues with tender notifications not being generated, check that you have a LOGISTICS involved party on your order base / shipment and that the email address of that LOGISTICS involved party contact is a valid email address on your SMTP server.
