On a Windows system that DOES NOT HAVE an SMTP server, such as when your testing on your own
workstation OR if your server doesn't need SMTP, you can specify a different SMTP server in the
PHP.INI file. It defaults to "localhost".
This may be obvious to some, but I spent 3 days looking for a "utility" that would let me
send email. Come to find out it is realy built right in, you just need to point it at the
appropriate SMTP server.
Note that most SMTP servers won't let you relay email from anywhere. You'll probably have
to deal with the admin of the SMTP server to work out the relay part (I haven't figured that
out yet).
