Aahh...yes. I think you have two options

(1) change the
        SMTP=localhost
line to point to whatever smtp server you currently use for mail (perhaps
'smtp.cenpok.net' ? just a wild guess), or

(2) leave the line as it is and install a mail server on your
machine...I've never thought about mail servers for Win95, so I can't offer
any advice there...

I would use option (1) and let that server handle mail duties, unless there
is some reason you aren't allowed to.
