Rather than running a new SMTP server on your local machine, you 
probably should use the same server your mail client already uses. Look 
for the *outgoing* server in the configuration of your mail client - for 
example in Thunderbird there is a panel called "Outgoing Server (SMTP)". 
Use the same server in your program.
