Some internet service providers (the people that offer you the internet connection) block outgoing traffic on port 25. Since outgoing traffic on port 25 is required for email to work properly, you either need to convince your ISP to open up port 25 for you (if it's not open), or you need to configure hMailServer to forward all email through your ISP's email server.
To determine whether port 25 is blocked, try typing telnet mail.hmailserver.com 25 on your command line. If you can connect, port 25 is not blocked; if you can't, port 25 is blocked.
If you configure your ISP's email server as SMTP relayer, hMailServer will deliver all outgoing email to your ISP's email server, which in turn will deliver it to the correct destination. Since it's almost always possible to send email through your ISP's email server, this is a workaround if port 25 is blocked. Start hMailAdmin
In the tree to the left, go to Settings -> Protocols -> SMTP
To the right, the SMTP settings are now shown. Click on the Delivery of e-mail tab.
In the SMTP Relayer field, enter the host name of your ISP's email server, along with your credentials on that server in case it demands authentication.
Save your changes
Please note that you should never specify localhost, 127.0.0.1, or your own hostname as the SMTP Relayer, since that would mean that hMailServer would try to forward messages to itself. That would result in an infinite loop. Also, you should leave this field empty if your ISP is not blocking port 25.
This sounds to me that it does not like to be relay server for itself. You might look into this further.

abrodski,
As to your first question, I would suggest using MySQL for the re-install of hMailServer rather than MSSQL. This reduces the database applications running on your XP workstation.
I could not find a video, but I did find a great article on configuring Joomla mail on a XP workstation.

Not
The errors that you are geeting is because the mail service is not configured correctly for the article with envelope (email option) and the user manager.
Also, are you using hMailServer for users or as a smtp service to send mail? There are better option if you are not managing user mailboxes and only want to send email from the workstation.
XP has the capability to install "Default SMTP Virtual Server". You can find it if you
go into "Computer Management" under Services and Applications -> Internet
Information Services -> Default SMTP Virtual Server You might have to right click on "Default SMTP Virtual Server" select "Properties", then the "Access" tab. Click on the "Relay..." button and change the selection to "All except the list below". This will prevent the XP from being a relay server.
