	It *is* possible to send email from PHP under Windows. All you need to
configure is the SMTP server in the PHP.ini file which sits in the Windows
folder.

notepad c:\winnt\php.ini
Edit->Find , SMTP


[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = smtp.server.com



	You should also configure sendmail_from. It is the From field when PHP sends
email.


; For Win32 only.
sendmail_from = my@email.address.com
