Hi
mail() uses the SMTP service running on localhost...errr... on the same
computer as the web service is running. So if there is no smtp service on
localhost, mail() won't work.
You must get SMTP libraray and use it to connect to some other server and
send the message. It's really simple and easy to come by.
