One possible source of difficulties could be that your SMTP server
is unreachable or requires authentication or some such.  You could
try something like this:

$ telnet mail.starwoodhotels.com 25
Trying 209.160.76.3...
Connected to mail.starwoodhotels.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 mail.starwoodhotels.com ESMTP Sendmail 8.12.8/8.12.8; Mon, 3 May 2004 15:54:24 -0400
QUIT


(Substitute your correct SMTP server name instead of mail.starwoodhotels.com.)
