从php代码发送电子邮件

Question

I want to send an e-mail using a php code,I am using wampserver.

an error appear :

 mail() [function.mail]: Failed to connect to mailserver at "localhost" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set() in C:\wamp\www\Newsletter1\index.php on line 29

My file php.ini

[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
; http://php.net/smtp
SMTP = localhost
; http://php.net/smtp-port
smtp_port = 25

; For Win32 only.
; http://php.net/sendmail-from
sendmail_from = [e-mail]

Is there any more configuration to do?

Update

I'am using the mail function to send a newsletter to subscriber and I am testing now locally then I will test the code on production environment

You need a SMTP mailserver daemon running on localhost. If you are using a unix host and you don't want to setup a full SMTP agent, try removing the SMTP config part, thus directly using sendmail. From the docs:

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).
