I get the following from Omsoft:

[bloom at kabloom ~]$ telnet cs.ucdavis.edu 25
Trying 169.237.6.6...
Connected to baton.cs.ucdavis.edu.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 baton.cs.ucdavis.edu ESMTP Sendmail 8.12.10/8.12.10; Sun, 3 Oct 2004
21:33:33 -0700 (PDT) QUIT
221 2.0.0 baton.cs.ucdavis.edu closing connection
Connection closed by foreign host.


(I typed QUIT myself)

(Shouldn't Omsoft be refusing to let me do things like that -- and
forcing me to go through my ISP's SMTP server?)
