whenever i telnet into my mailserver. i get the line that says connected and the version of the software being used , but i cant type or enter any words or commands. why is this? is it because theese actions might not be allowed by the server?
What telnet client are you using? A mail server can't disable the telnet from accepting keystrokes.
If you are using the windows 2000 / XP client you may need to get it to echo characters locally
type telnet and when the prompt appears enter SET LOCAL_ECHO and try again
