You really should take the time to search around on Google about SMTP
servers (Mail servers). If you want to send mail, either have access to a
remote SMTP server (your ISP *has* to have one) or install one yourself on
your computer. I have no clue what your OS is but if you're using
Linux/Unix, go search for sendmail, Qmail or Exim. For windows, Exchange.
I think this isn't the place to ask about setting up an SMTP server.
