Whats fishy here is "smtp" is not a fully qualified name.
It should be smtp.rogers.com or something like that.
Can you "ping smtp" and get it to work?
(There are ways this can be accomplished but its
extreemly unusual to see it set up that way).

And again I have to ask, WHY USE THEIR SMTP SERVER?
This is Linux, right?  just use sendmail and let your 
machine deliver it directly.  
(Sendmail, qmail, postfix, or some MTA comes with
every distro of linux and most distros start them
automatically).    Just click the sendmail radiobutton
and see if it works.
