Have you verified that your local machine can process an SMTP request? It sounds like that you have blocked SMTP on your local machine (port 25) or you do not have the correct credentials for your SMTP server locally.

Do you have a SMTP server? If yes, are you able to ping it? Otherwise you need to test your code on the server having SMTP server installed.

Microsoft removed the SMTP server from IIS in Windows 7. You can use any freeware SMTP server.
Look here for info on freeware SMTP: http://www.softstack.com/freesmtp.html
You probably should run this as a Windows service, as it will need to be running continuously to ensure its availability.
