Although you have other problems (see below) this is unlikely to work. 
When sending email, you need to either authenticate yourself with the 
server, or use an SMTP server in your local domain (which *may* accept 
all mail without authentication). This will be a mail server run by your 
ISP.

Given your email address domain (iu.edu) you should probably try 
mail.iu.edu or smtp.iu.edu, or just ask your local administrator where 
you should be sending email, and if you need to authenticate.

All that said, you define $host, but don't seem to use it anywhere. I've 
never used the Pear Mail package, so can't tell you where that should go.

Did you restart the web server after changing that? Changes to the 
server php.ini won't get picked up until a restart.
