There are two problems:
(1) telnet ECHO has to be provided by the client, not the server. Normal telnet daemons
provide host based echo, thatīs why you see characters. Some telnet clients allow local
echo to be switched on and off. Portmasters donīt.
(2) Telnet allows to be set from "character at a time" mode to "line by line" mode. This
has also to be done by the client. "line by line" offers local echo, local editing and
block sends a TCP packet with the whole line stored in after sending EOL or EOF
What you experience is "no echo". Your characters get sent to the host, but you have to
send the EOL character to your application. Now the "aaaaaaaaaah": EOL is defined by your
server side application or OS. Your SMTP process runs on Unix. Unix EOL is Linefeed LF,
$0A, ^J, however. The Portmaster sends Carriage Return CR, $0D, ^M, however.
Just terminate your not-echoed command with ^J instead of <Enter>, end youīll be fine ;-)
