You can actually adjust your php.ini file to use an Outlook Express email account on your WinXP machine to send mail from the PHP-Nuke site you have running locally. IF you have a working Outlook or Outlook express email account on yout XP machine.

Look for these lines in C:\Windows\PHP.INI

Code:

[mail function] ; For Win32 only. SMTP = localhost ; For Win32 only. sendmail_from = me@localhost.com

so you would change that too look something like this

Code:

[mail function] ; For Win32 only. SMTP = smtp.yoursite.com ; For Win32 only. sendmail_from = youremail@yoursite.com
