Making sure that everything is OK

Hi, This is what I have currently running on my server: Pear version: PEAR Version: 1.4.9 PHP Version: 5.0.5 Zend Engine Version: 2.0.5 Running on: Windows NT CASTOR-SRVR1 5.2 build 3790 Pear list: INSTALLED PACKAGES, CHANNEL PEAR.PHP.NET: ========================================= PACKAGE VERSION STATE Archive_Tar 1.3.1 stable Console_Getopt 1.2 stable DB 1.7.6 stable Mail 1.1.10 stable Net_SMTP 1.2.8 stable Net_Socket 1.0.6 stable PEAR 1.4.9 stable PHPUnit 1.3.2 stable XML_Parser 1.2.7 stable XML_RPC 1.4.8 stable Is there an easy way to test if my setup can send emails? I've been trying to get my Mediawiki Wiki (it does require PEAR Mail) to send email but I never receive them so I'm thinking that something is wrong on the PHP side but I don't know what to check. Thanks! Simon
