Telnet: TELNET (TELetype NETwork) is a network protocol used on the internet or local area network (LAN) connections. It was developed in 1969 and standardized as IETF STD 8, one of the first Internet standards.

Step # 1: First, open a command prompt. To open a command prompt window, click Start, Run and then type in cmd and press Enter. You can also press the +R to open the Run prompt and then type in cmd in the open text box.

type in telnet RemoteMailServer 25 at the command prompt. The Remote mail server here in this command is the mail server of your school or company. It is usually mailhost..edu or compmail..com or something on those lines. When you press enter, you are shown a quick prompt that you are connecting to the remote mail server.

Step # 3: Introduce yourself to the mail server. Play around a bit.

type in helo mailhost at the command prompt. The mail server responds back with something like this

250 RemoteMailHost. Hello , pleased to meet you.

Step # 4: You can now enter your email address.

type in mail from: your email id @ blah.com

The mail server responds back with a 250 … sender ok

Step # 5: You can now enter your receipient's email address

type in rcpt to: recipient email id @ blah.com

The mail server responds back with a "Recipient OK" message

Step # 6: Now, you are ready to type in the body of the email message.

type in data and press enter.

Now, type your message and then finally press Enter. To end your message type in a single period "." . Your message is now in the queue

Step # 7: To complete and finish the process, type in quit and press enter. The mail server responds with a "Bye" after which you see a "Connection to host lost" message displayed.
