Sheetal, I think problem is with the port number only. Default port would always be 25 for the mail server and you are not specifying the any specific port number in your program it means it will pick the default port number but you should first check it with your network people that mail server uses the default port i.e. 25 or some other port. If some other port then set the port number also in your program.
Check it, I think it will definitely wotk for you.
