Hello,

It sounds like the server you're attempting to send through does not 
recognise 'hello.com' as a final destination that it handles and so would 
need some form of authentication (username, password) in order to relay 
emails.

Who owns/runs the email server ?

The telnet test just proved the server is reachable, not that it will 
relay any and all messages.

Regards,

Nrth.
