Configure php.ini for mail settings

[nesty]

Hello,
I am sorry about this question as it probably is simple i just need to make sure im doing things right. I have a php script for my forms and it appears to work but it doesn't send the email to the email address. I am now turning to the php.ini as i forgot to set it but im not sure if i have done it right:-
Code:
[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = authsmtp.streamline.net
smtp_port = 25
; For Win32 only.
;sendmail_from = aimee@alrwritingservices.co.uk
I am running windows xp. Do i need to change any of the above. And also when i edit it, do i have to upload it to my web server?
Can anyone please help, many thanks

Hi,
check your firewall settings, also many of mail servers reject mail from relay SMTP servers and that's may be your problem.
That line:
;sendmail_from = aimee@alrwritingservices.co.uk
must be
sendmail_from = aimee@alrwritingservices.co.uk
