chances are that the following function is being used.

http://php.net/mail

you should really make sure sending email from the cmdline works before
digging deeper into php - it maybe your sendmail (or alternative tool) itself
is borked (in which case php won't be able to use it to send any email!).

smtp and smtp_port are ini settings that are only valid for windows,
I have no idea if setting them in a *nix php installation will cause problems or not.
