I am trying to set up SMTP for a client of mine's Umbraco 7.7 website.

The forms were built using the UmbracoForms plugin and everything seems to be fine on that side of things. The workflow is created and set to send the email to my email address.

I'm running the website localhost and I do not have a license. (I've read that you can run localhost if you do not have a license. Please correct me if i'm wrong)

I went into the web.config and added the client's SMTP settings and the form did not appear to send.

I went into the Log files and saw that I am receiving this error:

*System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1:25*

I then tried to switch over to our personal SMTP credentials that I am 100% sure work, and I am receiving the same error.

I cannot even receive an email from the "Forgot your Password" link on the login page.

I checked our mailgun logs, and it looks like it never even made it there.

Here are the SMTP credentials that I added to the web.config:

<system.net>
    <mailSettings>
      <smtp from="[email protected]">
        <network host="smtp.mailgun.org" port="25" userName="***@test.me" password="****" defaultCredentials="false" />
      </smtp>
    </mailSettings>
  </system.net>

I even added my from email to the umbracoSettings.config file like this:

<notifications>
  <!-- the email that should be used as from mail when umbraco sends a notification -->
  <email>[email protected]</email>
</notifications>

Here is the full error that I am receiving in the log file.
