Run an SMTP server?

or use your ISP's SMTP server - there will likely be limits to the amount of mail you can send, but most (all?) ISP's force you to use their SMTP server by blocking "relaying" anything to another server on port 25.
Using an SMTP server is the only way to send mail in PHP on Windows, IIRC. Linux may only use sendmail (or an equivalent)... unless you use SwiftMailer
