It looks like you're not running an SMTP server on your local machine. This can be verified by going to a command prompt and typing :- TELNET localhost 25 HELO SMTP_SENDER QUIT You should see a response from the SMTP server. The SMTP service under Windows is listed in Services as "Simple Mail Transfer Protocol" and should be 'Started'.
