<?php
$to="????";
$subject="mail test at ".strftime("&#37;T",time());
$message="this is atest.";

$from="?????";
$headers="From:{$from}";
$result=mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);
echo $result ? 'sent':'error';
?>

Obvious Question Response #1: Is your server running an SMTP server on port 25?

If you are running this on your local windows machine (I’m assuming so since you are using WAMP), you probably don’t have an SMTP server installed. You need to define an outgoing SMTP address in your php.ini configuration file

Are you reeeeeeealllllly sure? (~;
if you:
start->run->cmd on the same computer PHP scripts are running:

telnet localhost 25

does it connect?

yes
