??

How does the mail get sent, then?  Sending a mail involves connecting
to port 25, and whether or not that connection is via telnet is
immaterial.  I think.

But your second sentence seems to imply that it accepts the
connection, just doesn't respond when you type something.  When you do
"telnet smtp.newsguy.com 25", do you get a `connection refused' error,
or something else?
