Looks like you are sending direct emails (not using the built-in notification API), am I correct?

Has this ever worked?

• "Could not connect to SMTP host: localhost, port: 25;"
• It's very strange to have an SMTP relay on the same machine with the Sourcing server... ?!

Any reason why you are not using a custom email template with the built-in Notification API?
