On Windows, you need SMTP set. If you can't set it in php.ini, you might try .htaccess, but I suspect that is locked down and you can't... You could try things like: Install Pegasus email client, and use it from http://php.net/exec to send email. Install some kind of class from http://phpclasses.org that lets you choose your own SMTP server, and the PHP code in that class handles the mail protocol rather than using PHP's builtin code (which is tied to php.ini settings) Note that the built-in code will be "faster" but the mail() function is never suitable for mass high-volume emails.
