Are you running this from your machine? Or from the Server?
Also when you issue the telnet command, is it from your machine or from the server where the code is running?
And when you login using telnet, are you logging in as yourself or as the same credentials as the script?

Hello,

You have the EnableSsl property set to true, which would suggest that you should be using something other than port 25.
