Set up SMTP / smtp_from variable, as suggested in manual. But the
mail() function always return fails. I was trying to use
smtp.mail.yahoo .com I wonder if yahoo is somehow blocking smtp
requests from php?
Any thoughts on this anybody?

Maybe Yahoo requires authentication for SMTP? Try using the PEAR Mail
class, which supposedly supports authentication.

Re: Problem sending email from Windows XP / Apache 2 /php 5.0
I'm pretty sure that syntax for the SMTP server won't work. If you need to
authenticate, you'll need to use a package that supports it.
Is PHP giving any errors or warnings?

More than likely, relaying is disabled on Yahoo! end. Almost all mail
servers are configured to disable relaying as a security measure. You
should use your own or your ISP's SMTP server.
