[CrackMonkey] Instruments of inquisition, or... !Help, I'm being tried in ignorance (again)

[George J.P. Perry]

This message may not reach "tech".  I receive reply-refusals to the effect
"host <mail.lyingscumbags.org> not found"... 

... when I telnet, though, to <mail..org> port twenty-five (25)... then I
chat briefly & agreeably with a computer at [63.92.23.192] through its 
sendmail service.  And then I read tech's mail from me.  

Representatives of <register.com> assure me that they'd established
"c-name" & "a-record" (which they call "ip-record") connectivity of
<mail..org> to [63..192]... and that enough dozen hours have passed since
their latest (third, as it's happened) ministry... 

... enough time to suspect [63.192]'s competence to handle (may be) smtp.  

?What inquiries, other, ?might I make to [63..192] to test its fitness to
effectively receive mail... 

... or discover where other, along its way, it falls.  

Now I'm off to that Prisoner Thing in Dolores Park.  No time to lose.
