If you edit your php.ini located in your windows folder you can change the default smtp host.
Look for section [mail function] |

Editing the php.ini file will ONLY affect the server with the php.ini file.
You can use it to point to a mail server that isn't local.
Scripts located on a remote server will default to using the mail host that is specifed in the php.ini that is configured on that server. |

Set it to you mail server like this
Code: [mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = yourmailserver.com
smtp_port = 25
; For Win32 only.
sendmail_from = yourmail@site.com
; For Unix only. You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail -t -i").
;IF YOU HAVE EMAIL SERVER ON LINUX WRITE THE PATH TO SEND MAIL
;sendmail_path =
;Example:
sendmail_path = /usr/bin/sendmail/
