Hi Kavinnagarajan,

Please check the following as well.

1. The SmtpServer must be assigned to an Exchange Server address, I am not sure that you can use 'localhost'.
2. The IP address of your computer must be SMTP enabled

Hope this will help.

There are many possible reason for that.

1. Are you sure that localhost is your SMTP Address ?
2. Make sure SMTP configure properly.
3. Are you system is behind the Network Firewall ?
4. Does your port block by that firewall ?

You can try this steps :

1. Start > Run > InetMgr
2. Expand CompterName > Right click "Default Virtual SMTP server"
3. Goto Delivery Tab
4. Set lower values for: "first retry interval", "second try interval", "third retry interval", "subsequent retry interval" to 1. Then Try it once.

Hope this will help you :-D
