Do you actually run a mail server on your machine? You can test using
this (on a Linux/OSX machine, for Windows I have no idea):

% telnet localhost 25
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 localhost ESMTP Exim 4.43 Mon, 07 Feb 2005 11:52:40 +0200
...

The 220 line means that the server is up and running. If this doesn't
work you have to look into your mail server configuration (or simply start
it).
