[kwlug-disc] Testing a mail port

[Khalid Baheyeldin]

But is the mail server at mail.ufn.com configured to allow email from the
domain kwflowers.com? Or will it reject it (like it did for example.com in
your example)?

Backtrack a bit, and verify if having mail.ufn.com handle email for
kwflowers.com intended or just a misconfiguration?
