You need to edit your php.ini file (by default this is in C:\WINNT) and find these lines:

Code: Select all

їmail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = localhost

; For Win32 only.
sendmail_from = me@localhost.com
and edit them. For SMTP you probably will use your ISPs SMTP server, e.g. you could have:

Code: Select all

SMTP = smtp.myisp.com
and for sendmail_from you would use your own e-mail address.
