Sean,

The "Socket error 10061" is a Windows error meaning "Connection refused", so apparently your SMTP server is rejecting connections from SpamFilter. To verify this, from a DOS prompt on the server SpamFilter is installed on, issue the following command:

telnet aa.bb.cc.dd 25

where aa.bb.cc.dd is the IP or name that you specified in SpamFilter as your destination SMTP server. Please enter it exactly as you have it in SpamFilter. If you don't see a connection welcome banner from your SMTP server, then you'll need to check the config on the SMTP server to see why it won't accept connections from the server SpamFilter is installed on.
