The mail function uses the specified SMTP mail server to send out the mail.
you will need to set the php.ini variables as follows
SMTP = localhost ; The name or IP address of the
machine which is running
the SMTP Server. for ex ;
mail.flashmail.com
sendmail_from = [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; The address that you want to appear
in
the From Field of the mail.
The error you are getting is most probably because of the fact that there is
no SMTP server running on the machine specified in the above SMTP setting.
take a look at the following link for more info on the mail function -

hope that helps
