Telnet testing. When you telnet on port 25 you should be greeted by 220 response code followed by the server name and MTA name.
# telnet mail.uplinkzero.com 25 Trying 88.198.15.207... Connected to ip1.uplinkzero.com.

Repeat the steps above against amavis using port 10024
Of course, the other way to test is to use another email account to send email.
