Subject: Ruby Rails Action Mailer not working with Windows XP SMTP server?

I have been trying to get basic e-mail sending working with Action
Mailer for 2 days now and I've pretty much exhausted every possible
solution I can think of.

I am using Windows XP Professional with the Default SMTP Virtual Server
setup to accecpt Anonymous connections. The domain set in the SMTP
settings is my machine name which I've specified in my Environment.rb
as

ActionMailer::Base.server_settings = {
  :domain  => 'machinename'
    }

It's running on localhost, with no password, and It works fine with
other languages/framewords like C#/.NET.

Has anyone got this working, and if so how? What are your settings? Any
ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

The error I'm getting is :

Net::SMTPSyntaxError (501 5.5.4 Invalid Address
