You miss my point. You are telnetting to a REMOTE server using the SMTP
protocol.
Anyone not running a local mailserver can do that. So what?
If your dynamically assigned IP address is sending SMTP traffic directly to
remote hosts on the Internet (instead of only to your ISP) then either you
are:
1) Running a local SMTP ***SERVER*** on/behind that IP address
2) You are doing a LOT of telnets :)
