Check your firewall settings to make sure you didn't accidentally block
outbound port 25, presuming you use a firewall (you should!).

Can you telnet to the SMTP server in a command prompt?

telnet <name of SMTP server> 25 <enter>

and get a banner in reply? Are you set to authenticate to your SMTP server
if that is required?
