Hello,

Read the manual page for the mail() function ...

	http://www.php.net/mail

Mail() requires an operating SMTP server.  This can be set
in php.ini, and possibly via the ini_set() function.  These
might be worth looking into:

$config1=ini_set(sendmail_path,"/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i");
$config2=ini_set(SMTP,"localhost");
$config3=ini_set(smtp_port,25);

If you absolutely can't run an SMTP server or use a
remote server, you'd probably have to hack something
together with sockets or streams.
