[h-e-w] Emacs freezing on mail send

[Seth]

I installed Emacs on my Windows computer. rmail is able to receive mail okay but when I try to send emails, Emacs freezes. This is my .emacs file:

(setq user-full-name "Sethradio")
(setq user-mail-address "address@hidden")
(setq smtpmail-default-smtp-server "sethradio.com")
(setq send-mail-command 'smtpmail-send-it) ; For mail-mode (Rmail)
(setq message-send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it) ; For message-mode (Gnus)
(load "php-mode")
(load "smtpmail")
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist
              '("\\.php[34]?\\'\\|\\.phtml\\'" . php-mode))
(setenv "MAILHOST" "sethradio.com")
     (setq rmail-primary-inbox-list '("po:address@hidden"))
     (setq rmail-pop-password-required t)

All the settings regarding the smtp server are correct. But Emacs still freezes. Is there something I need upgrade? I am using Emacs 23.3 and I got the precompiled version. The smtp server does not require smtp auth.
