test
.

It should show that the message was accepted. What is the firewall you are using? If it is an ASA you may need to configure it to allow ESMTP....
It does not fail. I was looking at the wrong window. I just get a blank screen, but am unclear as to where to issue the HELO command from. I'm on a winblows box right now.
