[Seaside] How to email

[Brian Brown]

You can test an email port by using telnet to connect to the proper  
port, which is historically 25 for SMTP; however, 587 is the new SMTP  
port and more ISP's are turning off 25 and switching to 587. 993 is  
the traditional port for secure smtp as well.

So you should be able to telnet from your box to whatever the open  
email port at your ISP is and even see what email server software  
they are using based on the first response.
