Telnet is not outdated at all, and in fact I use telnet to debug mail problems at work every day.

You have to read RFC 821 (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc0821.txt) and also RFC 2821 (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2821.txt) which succeeded it.

Don't forget to say HELO/EHLO to the server. I've come across some wierd and rude replies from servers that aren't greeted properly first.
