Im connecting thru ISP so it's not local server connection.

My PHP.INI
***********************************
[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = mail.myDomain.com
smtp_port = 25

; For Win32 only.
sendmail_from = localhost [at] testme.com
************************************

I get error:
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


Why is he trying to connect to localhost ?
