>From the mail() documentation:
Note: The Windows implementation of mail() differs in many ways from the
Unix implementation. First, it doesn't use a local binary for composing
messages but only operates on direct sockets which means a MTA is needed
listening on a network socket (which can either on the localhost or a
remote machine).  Second, the custom headers like From:, Cc:, Bcc: and
Date: are not interpreted by the MTA in the first place, but are parsed
by PHP.  As such, the to parameter should not be an address in the form
of "Something <someone@xxxxxxxxxxx>". The mail command may not parse
this properly while talking with the MTA.

>From the example you show, it seems your problem is the last two
sentences.  i.e. "DanMashal <dmashal@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>" is not valid on
windows.
