The improvement is a mail client of some kind, telnet is used to see the
output (or lack of) from the mail server, this can help you to figure out if
the issue is in your client or in the mail server itself.

MailChannels checked 400000 domains and their mail server software and
microsoft has kind of around 7.6% of the market share on mail server software,
still sendmail is the most popular with a market share over 12%.
If your ISP likes to use microsoft products for their infrastructure, then you
have a few options:
- Live with it
- Change ISP
- Get mail service from someone else

If you are connecting to a microsoft based mail server, then maybe an
usergroup which handles microsofts server products, or/and else the client
softwares support forum.
