Of course, rather than sending mail from your own domain, use external domain that already enables sending mails.

I think you mix up two different terms here. SMTP is a protocol and not a domain. Also, the smtp at the start of the address is simply telling the server where to look just like with www at the beginning. smtp.mailserver.com is simply meaning you want to contact mailserver in the .com domain and want to communicate smtp with it.

There is probably another reason that you can't contact the server. Probably you simply need to open port 25 or give your application access to communicate to the outside world in the firewall of windows 7 and your done.

Good luck!
