	On my 9.04 I am, for fun trying to get my system to use my 
URL k5di.com to do email. I am trying to follow:

	https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostfixBasicSetupHowto

but it errors out when I try to use the basic system. It says 
to use netcat localhost 25 which should get me to a new user I 
made. Postfix is installed and seems to be fine. I had trouble 
getting it to load because it wanted to know which version I 
wanted and selected with difficulty normal.

	The problem is that nc localhost 25 gets to smtp but it 
errors out. Not like the help says it should. Any ideas what 
might be wrong?
