WampServer

Hello, I am using:

Windows Server 2003 Web Edition
WAMP (Latest Version) Inc PHP, MySQL Etc...

Basically i have created my own home web-server because i will be using a lot of space and its too expensive to go with a web-hosting company.

I have just installed "Windows Server 2003 Web Edition" on an old computer, uninstalled IIS and installed WAMP client and everything works, i can access my website from anywhere in the world using my static IP Address.

THE PROBLEM:
I am currently using CS-Cart (a famous paypal enabled shopping cart script) on my website to sell my products. But the script uses PHP to sent customers an email when they buy somthing or sign-up.

But for some reason i can seem to be able to send email through PHP. The CS-Cart software tells me that there is somthing wrong with the MAIL () FUNCTION.

I had the shopping cart working on a linux web server with 1and1.co.uk before i made my own server.

I did some research on the internet and found our that it can be connected with some SMTP things.

I have looked in my PHP.ini file and checked the my SMTP host, port and email address ae correct...


Any help would be great... Thanks.
