You can direct connect an smtp port (25) via telnet.<br>The command is usually <br>telnet &lt;Host&gt;,&lt;Port&gt; (May differ a little bit)<br><br><b>But you have to be familiar with the smtp protocol</b> <p>hnd<br><a href=mailto:hasso55@yahoo.com>hasso55@yahoo.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>

connect to smtp server through 25 port. send a 'helo' mesg. then u can receive a reply of saying OK. send your mail-id through Mail command and then send recievers mail id through RCPT command.
