Configuring mail server in CF Admin

I would like to setup a testing evironment and use my ISP's mail server to test and create CF mail applications.
When I tried connecting to the ISP's mail server which is "smtp.comcast.net " I received the following message from
CF admin "Connection Verification Failed". I also tried entering my user name and password before the server name
(e.g.: johndoe@comcast.net:password@smpt.comcast.net.

What would cause the communication failure from the CF server to the ISP's mail server?
If I cannot get this to run what alternatives do I have?
I am using WinXP pro. Can I install a mail server on my local machine and configure CF admin to connect
to the mail server on my local machine?

    Yes. But you might also consider a simpler a option like SpoolMail
