Thread:Project:Support desk/SMTP: Failed to connect socket

Hello all,

just installed "bitnami-mediawiki-1.20.2-0-windows-installer" on a machine with Windows 7 32bit Eng. ...and cant get the mail notification to work. As I am quite new to wiki, and almost zero experience with PHP it might be a quite easy problem/solution. Ithink I managed to isntall pear - at least when typing pear list a see a list of packages like: mail, mail_mime, net_smtp. Firewall is off, tried interal company smtp as well as gmail, the settings of internal company are copied from other machine that is working well so should be fine anyway.

the exact mesage when trying to send my self the confirmation mail is:

Wiki! could not send your confirmation mail. Please check your e-mail address for invalid characters. Mailer returned: Failed to connect to X.X.X.X:25 [SMTP: Failed to connect socket: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond. (code: -1, response: )]

Please advice
