This is the error I get

No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1:25

here is my web.config snippet:

<mailSettings>
    <smtp  from="local@local.com">
        <network host="localhost" port="25"/>
    </smtp>
</mailSettings>

I (think) I have setup my smtp server through IIS. I went into the IIS Manager tool set 

e-mail address to:local@local.com
SMTP Server: localhost
Port: 25
Authentication Settings : Not required

By doing all of this, am I theoretically setting up my web application to send email from the localhost? not sure why I am getting that error?

Thanks!
