Well you need some service capable of sending out emails - i dont know, but i doubt windows xp comes with such a service.
Then you can set the init.ora parameter smtp_out_server to the ip address (and optionally :port if you change the default of 25 during installation of your service) of that smtp service

Are you referencing to the smtp_out_server parameter in the init.ora?Do I have to setup another smtp server software and set the the ip address of my computer as the value of smtp_out_server parameter or just set the ip address of another smtp server?

Try to set smtp_out_server parameter to a valid smtp server
