Bug description:  wrong return value from mail(), if sendmail_path is wrong

Description:
------------
Hello,

on Windows, mail() allways returns true, regardless if sendmail_path is
wrong, or sendmail returns an error code.

Regards,
Carsten


Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);

$return = mail('mail@example.com', 'Test', 'Test');
var_dump($return);
?>


Expected result:
----------------
Like on *nix:
| % ./php -d sendmail_path=/foo/bar test.php
| /foo/bar: not found
| bool(false)
| %


Actual result:
--------------
On Windows:
| D:\PHP>php -d sendmail_path=/foo/bar test.php
| bool(true)
|
| D:\PHP>
