Todays idiot mail server of the week award goes to webcontrolcenter.com!
All seems to go fine, until you try to send email as postmaster:
[~] edwin@k7>telnet mail22.webcontrolcenter.com 25 Trying 216.119.106.23... Connected to mail22.webcontrolcenter.com. Escape character is '^]'. 220 mail22.webcontrolcenter.com ehlo edwin.adsl.barnet.com.au 250-MAIL22 Hello [203.222.131.252] 250-SIZE 31457280 250-AUTH LOGIN CRAM-MD5 250 OK mail from:<> 250 OK <> Sender ok rset 250 OK mail from:<edwin@barnet.com.au> 250 OK <edwin@barnet.com.au> Sender ok rset 250 OK mail from:<postmaster@edwin.adsl.barnet.com.au> 550 Sender is not allowed. Connection closed by foreign host.
And they rudely close the TCP session for you too!
