Whenever you works in local server (XAMPP or WAMP) for developing any email functionality in website, than you might be wonder that why email is not going from localhost(XAMPP or WAMP) in windows environment. Well, i faced the same situation and in this case i can help you. Below is the error you might get when working with email.
"Warning: mail() [function.mail]: Failed to connect to mailserver at "localhost" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set() in"
