Sir,

Can any one please tell me abt SMTP authentication.. how to get the
encryption code.. or how to do the authentication..?

also how to find the server, whether it need authentiation or not...?

and what authentication mechanism it follows.. ?

I suggest you read RFC 2554 (http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2554.html) . That will answer these questions.

only with user's mailID and server name can we do authentication...???

You need a 'shared secret' as well (ie password)
