You can test mail() function by just putting your ISP's SMTP address in the php.ini file e.g my ISP is mweb so I edited php.ini as follows:
SMTP = smtp.mweb.co.za
smtp_port = 25
sendmail_from =
myaddress@mweb.co.za
Got these values by checking my email account setup.
I was able to successfully send myself a mail.
