Welcome to WebmasterWorld, Ananthi.

The configuration directives listed only pertain to a Windows installation. You can set them to your own internal SMTP server or sometimes you can use an external SMTP server.

If it is just for testing purposes locally you can often just set the SMTP directive to your local ISP (the same as what you setup in your outgoing mail server for your local email client) or your own external smtp server.

SMTP = smtp.my_local_isp.net
