If you haven't picked it up yet in other posts the Wampserver team understandably don't support any advice about using mailing to external sources (out side your pc). The Wampserver concept is basically for local development computers.

But to answer your question briefly, a server, wherever, has to also have a mail server installed so the programs can use it (the mail server) to out put emails. What you have in (i.e.) PHP is little more than a function that "tries" to talk to the? local mail server - whose job it is to do the actual mailing.

Hope that helps.

Regards, 'imself.
