To fix your mail server: You need to enable mail relaying on your mail server. HOWEVER, it is VERY VERY important that ONLY the IP address of 127.0.0.1 is allowed to relay mail. If any IP can use the mail relay service, then anyone can use your mail server to send out spam annomously. Once that is done, you should be able to send email without any problems. If you continue to have a problem, check your mail server logs as that will show the connection from php attempting to send the email.
As for your logging problem, have you set a file path for logging to? Look for '; Log errors to specified file. ; error_log = ' and put in a valid file name/directory where you want your logs made. (e.g.: C:\Webserver\PHP\errors.txt - the full path is needed! ). Then, make sure you have made the errors.txt file in the directory where the setting is pointing. Remember also to remove the ; from infront of error_log =, otherwise the line won't be processed!
