problem sending mail via Java through service provider

Tags: java, mail, send, email, sympatico
Hi,
I am using Javamail to send an email; but I'm having trouble configuring it to use the email account provided by  service provider (Bell Sympatico Canada).
In my email client (MS Outlook Express) the smtp server is specified as 'smtphm.sympatico.ca', but if I try to Telnet to smtphm.sympatico.ca on port 25 I get
'Connecting To smtphm.sympatico.ca...Could not open connection to the host, on port 25: Connect failed'
also, Javamail reports "Could not connect to SMTP host: smtphm.sympatico.ca, port: 25;".  I thought maybe it was using a port other than 25 but when I send an email TCPView reports a connection on <address>:smtp so it must be 25?
Any help greatly appreciated.
