Hi Anil,
By default telnet is disabled..u need to enable it by modifying the following
#vi /etc/xinetd.d/telnet service telnet { flags = REUSE socket_type = stream wait = no user = root server = /usr/sbin/in.telnetd log_on_failure += USERID disable = no }
#### # service xinetd restart # telnet 127.0.0.1
u cant login using root password..use any other userid
u can try the following command to see wihch ports r open on ur box # nmap -sS 127.0.0.1
<snip>
Er..Piyush, you are completely wrong here. The OP is trying to use the Telnet client to connect to the SMTP server port on his machine and you are telling him how to setup a Telnet server. That's kind of like a user asking why his browser isn't working and you suggesting that he setup Apache.
Also, if you want to see what processes are listening on which ports, try "netstat -tunlp" as root.
