Telnet for SMTP?  Are you trying to connect to port 25 (SMTP) using a telnet 
client for testing purposes?  Don't install telnetd (telnet server), just use 
a telnet client:

telnet <hostname> 25

If the SMTP server is running and not blocked by a firewall, you should be 
able to connect to it that way on port 25.
