I had similar problems on my win32 platform...

In horde.lib you can find all the functions that take care of sending mails (line 1134), I have changed a few lines of codes so has to use a commandline sendmail clone that sends the mail using my smt.server of choice.

I am also exploring an alternative solution, in the php_4_0_4pl1 package there is a pear directory with a a nice library (written by chuck?) that takes care of sending mail via smtp, what I did was including this smtp library into the hodelib and call the this function instead of the standard mail() one.

Their is also a parameter in php.ini which I hope someone from the mailing list may clarify: 

>>>>>>>>>>>>>  Abstract from PHP.INI >>>>>>>>>>>>
[mail function]
SMTP  = localhost  ;for win32 only
sendmail_from = postmaster@localhost.com;for win32 only
;sendmail_path =    ;for unix only, may supply arguments as well (default is 'sendmail -t -i')
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Is this a parmeter used by the mail() function under win32 platform ?
