SMTP in Windows 7

Question

User-15025296 posted

So I read posts on other sites that try to state that IIS does not contain SMTP in Windows 7.  Since I clearly can see the SMTP server, I know that is not correct and yet I cannot configure my SMTP server to accept localhost emails. I have the following options set:

Email Address: Set to one of my email addresses

Deliver email to SMTP server:  localhost (the use localhost checkbox is selected) - I also tried using 127.0.0.1

Port: 25

Authentication Settings: Not Required 

My web.config is either:

<smtp from="SAME EMAIL AS ABOVE">

             <network host="127.0.0.1" password="" userName="" />

</smtp>

OR

<smtp from="SAME EMAIL AS ABOVE">

             <network host="localhost" password="" userName="" />

 

</smtp>

I keep getting the following error:

     No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1:25

I have no idea why - any ideas
