This is a BIG question. Since your trying to use localhost (127.0.0.1) as your mail server you need to make sure you really have a SMTP server running at that IP address and identify which port it is listening on. This is normally port 25.
Does the cfadmin 'Verify mail server Connection' show the connection to the mail server is valid? If there is a valid SMPT server and if verifies in CF Admin then I'm guessing you have to work on your mail server configuration. Since a basic cfmail tag with the very basic required attributes (to,from,subject, message) usually will not fail unless the mail server is not allowing email for some reason. One reason could be authentication is required (as it should be) you may need to use an username and password. This should get you started on the path to getting this working.
