SMTP server for Windows

Hi! I recently added to my webpage that is hosted on a windows dedicated server , a contact page which had a few fields , Name, Phone number and Comment. I use EasyPHP to host my website on the server which run OS XP. I made a php script to receive e-mail that looks like this.

<?PHP

$ip = getenv("REMOTE_ADDR");
$adddate=date("D M d, Y g:i a");
$name = $_REQUEST['name'];
$email = $_REQUEST['email'];
$phone = $_REQUEST['phone'];
$submit = $_REQUEST['submit'];

$buwhaha = "$adddate
$ip

Name: $name
Email: $email
Phone : $phone

-----------------------------------";

mail ("tavi_sf@yahoo.com" , "Contact" , "$buwhaha" );
header("Location: index.html" );


?>

I tested It and works on a dedicated host but on Windows i can't find a smtp server to send me e-mail when someone uses the contact page . Can someone please point out how to make it work , a smtp server or some settings i need to check , i run windows xp on the remote server i have and basically tried every smtp server from google and it still won't e-mail me the contact info i want.

Thanks in advance !

You can use SMTP from your provider or install a SMTP server yourself.

as I mentioned in my previous post i did install smtp servers from google QK SMTP SERVER , PHP SMTP Server for windows , Free SMTP Server and 2+3 more than this but won't work . I'm asking if you could point me out to 1 tool that works or could explain how to use the smtp from my isp please cause i kinda skipped that part in networking school :) . Thanks in advance !

In your php.ini, if you have your own SMTP server, did you changed "SMTP = localhost" or activate it (remove ";") ?

If you send an email, what is the error message ?
