mail, MTA's, etc. on Windows

[awebguynow]

after reading many posts,
I'm looking for reccommendation s on SMTP and mail() alternatives on
Windows XP.

I've seen blurbs on:
PHPMailer
Pear::Mail or
Pear::MailQueue Pkgs
mimemail

I do not have an SMTP server at this point. I'm Running php5 on
Apache 2.

I'm assuming for any of the above, I'll need a SMTP server.
please advise - thanks

You could just set the SMTP server setting to the SMTP server of your
ISP in php.ini.
