I ran into the same issue right after installing THOLD.
The issue cleared itself when filling in a valid email in the very first text box, and a valid "from" email in one of the text boxes at the bottom.
I also removed the smtp email & passwords from the config.

I'm remove any text in text boxes, configure sendmail with firewall, and select SMTP Mail Service method in Mail/DNS. it work!

Here's a little help if you are trying to use cygwin's ssmtp to send mails.

ssmtp tries to emulate sendmail-command but it needs -t command-line switch to work in Cacti. Cacti does not provide recipients in command line parameters but in message header. -t makes ssmtp to search recipients from the header.

In order to get this to work, you need to set "Sendmail Path" as
c:/cygwin/usr/sbin/ssmtp.exe -t
(depending of course where you have installed your cygwin)
Don't worry about [ERROR: FILE NOT FOUND]-message.
