Using various telnet clients (even the client from MS, plus putty,
SecureCRT, Linux/FreeBSD, TeraTerm/SSH) to talk to a lot of different
SMTP services over the years, I've never seen this problem. So it
doesn't exist! :)
I suggest you play with your telnet client's config or try another
client. Your telnet client's behavior probably has something to do
with the echo setting, which, ime, just works in default mode in all
the above clients.
You type a character, your emulator:
1) will send it to the SMTP service and
2) should display it on your local screen, because, as Rod said, the
character won't echoed back from the SMTP service (but it normally
will be by a _telnet_ server in character echo mode, where what you
see on your screen actually went from-your-kbd to-server echo-to-your-screen)
