Although you have other problems (see below) this is unlikely to work.
When sending email, you need to either authenticate yourself with the
server, or use an SMTP server in your local domain (which *may* accept
all mail without authentication). This will be a mail server run by your
ISP.
Given your email address domain (iu.edu) you should probably try
mail.iu.edu or smtp.iu.edu, or just ask your local administrator where
you should be sending email, and if you need to authenticate.
All that said, you define $host, but don't seem to use it anywhere. I've
never used the Pear Mail package, so can't tell you where that should go.

I did have that. I have include_path = ".;C:\xampp\php\PEAR;". Do I have to physically type in pear install Mail to install the Mail package here?
Did you restart the web server after changing that? Changes to the
server php.ini won't get picked up until a restart.
