--> Go to /%WindowsPath/
-->Open PHP.INI
Go to line 600 and then you will see that:
; For Win32 only.
sendmail_from = admin@localhost

-->Create email box,(e.g server@domain.com)
-->Change this "admin@localhost" to "server@domain.com"
-->Save the file and try to send in PHP mail function.

Inform me.
Best Regards,

Do you just use any domain on the server? I am a bit confused what you mean by create email box server@domain.com? If I just use a random domain wont the mail appear to be coming from that domain? Sorry for the dumb question, I am new to windows administration.

Just use one excisting email adres as the local host adres..(ie. admin@yoursite.com)

I do have several domains on server and it all works.

I had the same problem and by changing admin@localhost to an excisting one.. problem solved... so give it a try
