You need to be sure that SMTP is running and setup properly on your
computer(server) since you are sending to localhost:

Are you running an SMTP server locally (on localhost)?
If you are, check the mailroot directorys, specifically, the badmail folder,
I bet your email is in there.

>From the server, you can telnet to port 25, and issue SMTP commands
manually, something like:
Telnet localhost 25
HELO myserver.com
MAIL FROM:anyone@domain.com (put brackets around the email addresses, OE is
taken them out)
RCPT TO:myself@domain.com (put brackets around the email addresses, OE is
taken them out)
DATA
This is a test
.

If you do not get this email assuming you put your email address in the RCPT
TO, then there is a problem with your SMTP server.
