Something like this ought to do it:

(sleep 5; echo HELO foo; sleep 1; \
  echo mail from: foo at example.com; sleep 1; \
  echo rcpt to: userid.that at youwant.to.check; sleep 1; \
  echo data; echo test; echo .; sleep 1; echo quit) | \
  telnet mail.ho.st 25 2>&1 | fgrep -q '450 5.7.1' && notify-user.sh

Of course, it's probably better to wrap this into a Perl or equivalent 
script, but it should work on the shell too.
