Mercury not sending mails (recieving not needed)

If after making sure that the settings for Local domains and host name in Mercury core and MercuryE configuration are OK (have a look in Mercury help!) sending still fails the most common reason is that your Internet provider blocks port 25. Many Internet providers do this to stop spam bots, unless it's a business connection that is expected to host servers. If so you could try asking them to open port 25 for you, or you could switch to using the MercuryC module and relay mail through your Internet provider's SMTP server.

Ok, I'm running mercury prepacked in xampp

I've gotten as far as to get mercury to be connected by my local site (Wordpress). But when a user Requests a password, mercury core detects it and sends it to the SMTP client to send the mail (from my mercury server to gmail in this case). It manages to Resolve the MX(using my own router as DNS) But connecting to the main and the 3 alternates fails. Which results in a loop of sending error messages. (The last loop does not matter, since it solves itself by detecting it is a loop.)

How can I finally get mail sent?

Quite desperate now...

Edit

Improved fix on the loop, addind my "site's" name and my IP adress to the localhost list.

Turn on session logging in MercuryE and then let us see the results as well as your
mercury.ini file. Both are plain text so you can paste them into your reply easily.
