 * You are connecting to a server that requires STARTTLS, but your security is set
   to **none**.
 * Please use the **Setup Wizard** if you are unfamiliar with SMTP.

 * WAMP is a web server. It is not an email server. You will need to install an 
   email server, or use one available on the Internet, like Gmail to Hotmail.

 * thank you again.
    I tested on my production server. it is working fine. Thanks
   for your nice plugin. previously i tried to send mails through vb.net code from
   my same system., it worked fine. so I am thinking of doing similar job through
   now php ( wordpress).. I am glad to know the procedure to make it work on local
   system..
