Problem to send e-mails

A friend who has no internet at the moment can not send e-mails via Windows Live! that mark him this:
Unable to find the Internet host. Make sure you have correctly entered the server name. Account: 'HTTP', Server: 'Internet', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure (SSL): No, Socket Error: 11001, Error Number: 0x800CCC0D

That is if someone has a solution?

It sends a particular software? Genre outlook ...

Yes he sent with Outlook Express. You know where it comes?

in the options you must configure the SMTP server..but I wonder if they have not changed the port address to avoid spam. Well you can already test it.

To install the SMTP service on IIS 6.0

1. On the Start menu, click Control Panel, double-click Add or Remove Programs, and then click Add/Remove Windows Components.
   
2. In the Components list, click Application Server, and then click Details.
   
3. In the Subcomponents of Application Server list, click Internet Information Services (IIS), and then click Details.
   
4. In the Subcomponents of Internet Information Services (IIS) list, select the SMTP Service check box, and then click OK.
   
5. Click Next. If you are prompted for the Windows CD or the network install path, follow the instructions.
   
6. Click Finish.

When you install the SMTP service, a default SMTP server configuration is created with a message store in C:\Inetpub\Mailroot.

When you are setting up the SMTP service, you can configure global settings for the SMTP service, as well as settings for individual components of the virtual server. The IIS SMTP service is a relay agent only. E-mail messages are forwarded to an SMTP server for delivery.

The problem is that my friend uses a hotmail address . What configuration is needed? Gmail or Yahoo?

Thank you in advance.
