Thank you all for your responses. 
 
The problem is solved. The telnet succeeds as well as the mail 
function. The problem was the McAfee antivirus. I am using the free 
perpetual edition. Only disabling it was not enough. I completely 
uninstalled it and restarted my computer. Now everything is good. 
However now I am without an antivirus program.. lol... 
 
As for the authentication scheme to avoid spamming, according to my ISP 
it allows only 100 emails per hour by a user. If a user sends 100 
emails within 5 minutes then he has to wait 1 hour more to again send 
100 emails. Hope I am not doing any harm revealing my ISP's secret.:)
