mail() function HELP

I'm getting problems with the mail() function.

ERROR: 

Warning: mail() [function.mail]: Failed to connect to mailserver at "" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set() in C:\wamp\www\php_sandbox\user_auth_fns.php on line 170


I'm using Windows XP prof. and WAMP5 -server 

Here what I did: 

1) I download sendmail.zip from http://glob.com.au/sendmail/

2) I unzip this in a folder on c:\wamp\sendmail 

3) I edited  PHP.INI file 

[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = 
smtp_port = 

; For Win32 only.
;sendmail_from =

; For Unix only.  You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail -t -i").
;sendmail_path = "C:\wamp\sendmail\sendmail.exe -t"

; Force the addition of the specified parameters to be passed as extra parameters
; to the sendmail binary. These parameters will always replace the value of
; the 5th parameter to mail(), even in safe mode.
;mail.force_extra_parameters =

4)I edited  SENDMAIL.INI file 

; configuration for fake sendmail

; if this file doesn't exist, sendmail.exe will look for the settings in
; the registry, under HKLM\Software\Sendmail

[sendmail]

; you must change mail.mydomain.com to your smtp server,
; or to IIS's "pickup" directory.  (generally C:\Inetpub\mailroot\Pickup)
; emails delivered via IIS's pickup directory cause sendmail to
; run quicker, but you won't get error messages back to the calling
; application.

smtp_server=mail.yahoo.ca

; smtp port (normally 25)

smtp_port=465

; the default domain for this server will be read from the registry
; this will be appended to email addresses when one isn't provided
; if you want to override the value in the registry, uncomment and modify

default_domain=

; log smtp errors to error.log (defaults to same directory as sendmail.exe)
; uncomment to enable logging

error_logfile=error.log

; create debug log as debug.log (defaults to same directory as sendmail.exe)
; uncomment to enable debugging

;debug_logfile=debug.log

; if your smtp server requires authentication, modify the following two lines

auth_username=jacobsofia
auth_password= *******

; if your smtp server uses pop3 before smtp authentication, modify the 
; following three lines

pop3_server=mail.yahoo.ca
pop3_username= jacobsofia@xxxxxxxx
pop3_password=******

; to force the sender to always be the following email address, uncomment and
; populate with a valid email address.  this will only affect the "MAIL FROM"
; command, it won't modify the "From: " header of the message content

force_sender=jacobsofia@xxxxxxxx

; sendmail will use your hostname and your default_domain in the ehlo/helo
; smtp greeting.  you can manually set the ehlo/helo name if required

hostname=


5) Here my code: 

$email = mysql_result($result, 0, "email");
      $from = "From: jacobsofia@xxxxxxxx \r\n";
      $mesg = "Tu contraseña  ha sido cambiado a $Password \r\n"
              ."Por favor utilízalo la próxima cuando hagas log in. \r\n";
      if (mail($email, "login información ", $mesg, $from))
        echo "Enviamos tu nueva contrasena a tu e-mail";
      else
        echo "Error";

Thanks for the help!!!!
