Do you have a smtp server running? If not, you'll need to install and configure one. If you're using a Windows platform, then you can probably install one from the installation CD. Open control panel, choose "add/remove" programs -> choose "add/remove" windows components -> check the options under IIS for NT, 2K, XP.

I haven't used a Windows version, but I have used pegasus mail and it worked fine. The mail server is the "transport system" binary as I recall.
