We have an existing exchange server on our domain, but I would like to setup a local SMTP server on our CRM server to send the emails from CRM. I installed ISS 6 and then SMTP. I had it set to anonymous and then tried basic (as each email would be sent out of CRM from an authenticated user on the domain), but when I try to test it via telnet servername 25, I keep getting the following error:

Could not open connection to the host, on port 25: connect failed.

Is there something extra I need to modify with services or authentication? If this simple test won't work, it definitely will not send emails out of CRM.
 
Turns out McAfee was blocking it. All good now.
