1. Problem Solved.
2. The cause was the Macfee Virus Scan ver 8 installed on the host (Win XP SP3) system, which blocks SMTP port by default.
3. With the Windows Firewall enabled too the Drupal is performing satisfactory.
4. The other causes found out can be incorrectly configured network setting in LAN/WAN especially routings and Norton AV 2004.
