Windows does not come with a mail server by default like *NIX systems, thankfully!
Think Spam is an issue now!If you install a mail server on your system, it is possible, see hMailer, you can set it up for testing purposes with an sending account that requires no authentication and still use the mail() function. However it is very unlikely that any REAL mail server will accept mail from you as you are not a known and verifiable source for mail. Your mail will just get rejected as potential SPAM
If you want to send outside a testing environment your best bet is to use a PHP mail library such as PHPMailer. This will allow you to autenticate to the server, and mail will be accepted.
