No telnet on Vista or Windows 7

It appears that Windows Vista and Windows 7 have telnet switched off by default. To enable this for simple mailserver troubleshooting, do the following:

open control panel
Then go into programs
Then in programs and features there should be a part that says ‘turn windows features on or off ‘
Click ‘turn windows features on or off ‘ then on the list that appears simply choose: Telnet Client

This will then allow you to use the telnet command.
