I'm getting problems with the mail() function.

SMTP = smtp_port = ; For Win32 only. ;sendmail_from = ; For Unix only. You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail -t -i"). ;sendmail_path = "C:\wamp\sendmail\sendmail.exe -t"

I don't mean to be rude, but what part of "For Unix only" confused you? You need to point the "For Win32 only" settings at a mail server on Windows. The error message pretty clearly states that it's trying to connect to the server specified in those settings. -Stut -- http://stut.net/
