PHP's mail function seems to deliver mail on a clean system, with no apparent configuration done by the administrator or webmaster (no SMTP configuration in php.ini, etc.). How does the mail function deliver mail to a remote server?

to check if it is sending mail as intended; <? php $email = "[email protected]"; $subject = "Email Test"; $message = "this is a mail testing email function on server"; $sendMail = mail($email, $subject, $message); if($sendMail) { echo "Email Sent Successfully"; } else { echo "Mail Failed"; } ?>
Well mail() simply returns a boolean value depending on whether the mail was successfully accepted for delivery. From the php.net site: Returns TRUE if the mail was successfully accepted for delivery, FALSE otherwise.
On *nix it invokes the sendmail binary, which then uses the mail configuration to route the email. On Windows, it sends to a SMTP server. In both cases the sysadmin sets up the mail system.
