PHP MAIL() relies on SMTP to send email. You will need to figure out where
on your network is an SMTP mail server. If you send mail to/from the
Internet, you will have one. Exchange 5.5 has the Internet Mail Connector,
and Exchange 2000 uses, by default, only SMTP.
A workaround maybe to setup an SMTP server just for PHP. There are some good
free ones out there. I believe Windows 2000 server even has one built-in.
Also for Windows, Mercury is very good (it's what I use).

For linux, there is always sendmail and postfix. Postfix is pretty simple to
setup, www.postfix.org,
