Here's another transaction that theoretically should work even if
catherine doesn't have a public MX record:

michael@catherine ~ $ telnet localhost 25
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 catherine.espersunited.com ESMTP Exim 4.67 Wed, 16 May 2007 09:06:02

helo test
250 catherine.espersunited.com Hello localhost [127.0.0.1]
mail from: michael@localhost
250 OK
rcpt to: michael@localhost
550-Verification failed for <michael@localhost>
550-Unrouteable address
550 Sender verify failed
