Assuming the server name is correct, my guess is that the server is restricted. To prevent a mail server from being used as a spam relay, many mail administrators restrict connections to a list of identified servers. So you should check with your mail admin to see if the TWiki server needs to be added to such a list.

Another possibility: If you do not use the standard SMTP port (25), you might try to indicate this port after the server, seperated by a colon :, e.g. mail.nissparta.com:24.

My latest guess is that you're missing that module. I'm noticing a pattern here (see these messages):

• WindowsSubstituteForSendMail
• WindowsInstallationDeadEnd
• CouldNotSendConfirmEmail (very similar title to this question)
