Are you connecting from outside the F2S network? If so it is possible that the ISP you are using is blocking traffic on port 25 to anything outside its network to try to prevent users sending spam.

Go Start -> Run and type "cmd" (without the quotes) and press OK. Then type:
Code:
telnet outmail.f2s.com 25
If it doesn't show something like "220 outmail1.freedom2surf.net ESMTP Postfix" then something is stopping you connecting to the server for sending email (probably a firewall or your ISP).
