Telnet goes as follows (I've masked out the host name/IP):-

telnet xxx.xxx 50119
Trying 000.000.00.000...
Connected to xxx.xxx.
Escape character is '^]'.
200 Hi, you can post
post
340 Go ahead

So it doesn't look like it's really asking for authentication.  I'll
go back and answer your other responses/questions separately.
