Yohanes, you are right. The RFC's and specifically which ones to use are a
bit confusing. I read thro' RFC's 1869, 2554, 2821 and 3207 but am still not
clear of the exact sequence of commands to be executed while using
TCPSocket. I searched Google but did not find a specific solution. Still
searching...

I am abonding the local relay server and now trying to connect to the remote
ESMTP server that requires authentication.
