Check the SMTP server setting in your mail software. Such a situation 
most probably means that your computer is trying to connect to 
nonexistent SMTP server. It is also possible that there is some problem
with SMTP server itself and it does not accept connections at that time.

You also can use for mail transmission your own SMTP server running on 
your computer (if your ISP allows it).
