Trying to get a SMTP server up and running so run php forms on my server.
I am using postcast with wamp, but I can not get the mails to send they filter into postcast but thats as far as it goes.

This assumes your web server appears to the SMTP server as your external facing IP, ie. you are NATing the incoming traffic. If you're hosting elsewhere and just want use of an SMTP server, forget it they're mostly locked down.

I got a decaited server idealy I have installed it and edited the php.ini to the correct file but it is locked on port 25.
Which has been causing the error.

Locked?
You mean you can't go outbound on it?

Do also bear in mind that most ISPs will do this in case any user gets malware which spams.

I have
[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = S15269647
; For Win32 only.
sendmail_from = me@example.com
in my php.ini and the mail filter though to postserver correctly just it does not send it though there.

Joolma CMS? Surely that just uses the mail() function in PHP to send messages...
Is this on your own server?

Your own server which is firewalled on outgoing connections by your ISP 
Connection is reset by the remote side - yes it is.
