You didn't give any detail, so I assumed you were doing it without
forcing authentication and it works because your exim mail server is
configured to relay from the IP address you are testing it from (i.e.
without requiring auth). Using swaks with the cli opts I mentioned
will force it to use auth to login, and due to the extremely cool
nature of swaks, shows you exactly every step that it is doing as it
does it.

I have only seen your original telnet paste and have not seen an updated telnet.
