send mail using localhost instead of gmail

Question

so, i'm trying to send e-mail via javamail and glassfish: here is my code(i find it here http://www.javasrilankansupport.com/2012/05/send-email-in-java-mail-api-using-gmail.html)

private Session m_Session;
private Message m_simpleMessage;
private InternetAddress m_fromAddress;
private InternetAddress m_toAddress;
private Properties m_properties;
@Override
public void sendMail(String mail) throws Exception {
    try {

        m_properties     = new Properties();
        m_properties.put("mail.smtp.host", "smtp.gmail.com");
        m_properties.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.port", "465");
        m_properties.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.class","javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory");
        m_properties.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");
        m_properties.put("mail.smtp.port", "465");
        m_properties.put("mail.debug", "false");
        m_properties.put("mail.smtp.ssl.enable", "true");


        m_Session        =   Session.getDefaultInstance(m_properties,new Authenticator() {
            protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
                return new PasswordAuthentication("[email protected]","password"); // username and the password
            }

        });

        m_simpleMessage  =   new MimeMessage(m_Session);

        m_fromAddress    =   new InternetAddress("[email protected]");
        m_toAddress      =   new InternetAddress(mail);


        m_simpleMessage.setFrom(m_fromAddress);
        m_simpleMessage.setRecipient(RecipientType.TO, m_toAddress);
        m_simpleMessage.setSubject("Test letter");
        m_simpleMessage.setContent("Hi, this is test letter.","text/plain");

        Transport.send(m_simpleMessage);

    } catch (MessagingException ex) {
        ex.printStackTrace();
    }
}

but after using this function on server i catch thos exceptions:

javax.mail.MessagingException: Could not connect to SMTP host: localhost, port: 25;
