SMTP Authentication prompt

After following the virtual users and domains tutorial (postfix mysql on debian) everything works perfectly except fr when i try to manualy send an email.

If i telnet to the server and ehlo it, i do not get a prompt for SMTP authentication and hence can not send emails from telnet.

Am i doing something wrong?

Thanks.

 

What's the output of

Code:

telnet localhost 25

and then

Code:

ehlo localhost

?
