Is your ISP is "Blocking Port 25" ? Try changing the "Outgoing server (SMTP):" to "587". If that does not work contact your ISP to verify if they're blocking Port 25 and if so which port to use.
I know with AT&T (SBC) So. CA (USA) users have to use 587 for the Outgoing server (SMTP) port setting for sending email via email servers other than AT&T's.
