That is sometimes a very useful trick, but it doesn't always work. SMTP requires CR-LF line endings, but your example only generates LF. Most mail servers accept that, but they are not required to, and some don't (qmail?). > Is it possible to run same thing same manner > in python? If possible kindly help me with > specimen code.

When you use the telnet command to do it, you're simply abusing telnet to get a command-line interface to a TCP socket -- it's really only intended to talk to a telnet server. . If the 'netcat' utility was more widespread, everyone would have used it instead. When you use Python, it doesn't make sense to go through telnetlib. Use module socket instead. Or, simply use module smtplib, which also comes with example code (in Python 2.3, at least).
