    Does it need a mail transfer agent or IMAP/POP3 server? Taking a rough guess from your settings list, I would say you need an MTA, which is possibly already running on your server. Try "localhost" for the "email server" and setting auth to no. If I am mistaken and you need an IMAP or POP3 server, you can do that with a gmail account. See the settings.
