Subject: telnet on port 25

Hi *,
        I am trying to telnet to our mail server(Win NT) from an AIX box
using port 25. When i connect it gives me a message saying ready but no
prompt to execute any commands, and it does not even ask me the username
and
a password. I have never connected on port 25 using telnet before. Is
this
the way it works or am i doing something wrong. Pl find the output i
have
got when executing those commands.

telnet> open 195.183.212.12 25
Trying...

220 <hostname> ESMTP Server (Microsoft Exchange Internet Mail Service

TIA
