Mailing SMTP Error PHP

Question

require_once "Mail.php";
error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_STRICT);
    $mail_To = $email;
            $mail_Subject = "Reservation notification From Tamera Plaza Inn";
            $mail_Body = "First Name: $name\n".
    "Last Name: $last\n".
    "Email: $email \n".
    "City: $city \n".
    "Zip Code: $zip \n".
    "Country: $country \n".
    "Contact Number: $cnumber \n".
    "Password: $password \n".
    "Check In: $arrival\n ".
    "Check Out: $departure\n ".
    "Number of Adults: $adults\n ".
    "Number of child: $child\n ".
    "Total nights of stay: $result\n ".
    "Room Type: $type\n ".
    "Number of rooms: $nroom\n ".
    "Payable amount: $payable\n ".
    "Confirmation Number: $confirmation\n ";

     $host = "localhost";
             $username = "";
             $password = "";

 $smtp = Mail::factory('smtp',
        array ('host' => $host,
               'auth' => true,
               'username' => $username,
               'password' => $password));

     $mail = $smtp->send($mail_To, $mail_Subject, $mail_Body);
       if (PEAR::isError($mail)) {
           echo("<p>" . $mail->getMessage() . "</p>");
       } else {
           echo("<p>Message successfully sent!</p>");
       }

As you can see, the code above is used to send emails. That is what my web is trying to do but one thing hinders my success is the error below. I can't seem to connect to my mail server which is PEAR. Am I missing something here?

ERROR:
  Failed to connect to localhost:25 [SMTP: Failed to connect socket: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. (code: -1, response: )]

By the way, I'm using Wampserver

Thanks for your reply. I've tried to read it but I don't understand it. — GM-Xile GM-Xile, Mar 01 '13 at 13:54

No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.

This is your problem, as stated in your error message. Check the firewall settings of your mail server.

Mind if I ask how to check the firewall settings of my mail server? – GM-Xile GM-Xile Mar 01 '13 at 13:55
