Okay, this is really odd...

I have Ciphire installed on my machine. So far it hasn't caused me any issues and often provides useful information. I think it is doing so right now.

When I telnet into port 25 and run through the mail sending process I eventually get a Ciphire dialog up that says that I'm trying to send a mail that has no to, from, subject or body. That's kind of odd because I *did* specify a to, from and body.

So I want to try something else and I telnet into my linux box that is hosting JBoss. From there I say
  telnet 192.168.69.17 25

and run through the process of sending mail. I fully expect that since I'm doing the telnet via the Linux box that Ciphire won't activate. I'm wrong. I get the same result.

Begin showing my ignorance here...

That implies to me that my client machine is the one trying to send the email even though I'm directly connected to the mail server via telnet. Is this expected behavior?

This is a machine that I only have SSH access to. Do I need to do something different?

And another odd thing. When I first tried to telnet from the machine to itself I specified "localhost" instead of its IP Address. It said it couldn't find localhost. That doesn't seem quite right. Is that information of any use?

When I try to ping an outside server I don't even get name resolution. That implies that the DNS is screwed up somehow. Is that going to cause issues?
