Do you have a SMTP server set up on localhost? Test by using telnet on the server:

telnet 127.0.0.1 25

If the server responds, try sending raw SMTP commands to send an email and trouble-shoot from there.

I find the easiest way with the Microsoft SMTP server is to disable any checks for authentication and rely on relay restrictions, then restrict relaying to 127.0.0.1.

The fact that you're running on localhost shouldn't make any difference.

As long as you have valid email server settings, and it's allowed on the system you are running on, this works just fine.

Did you try it? Did you have a problem?
