mail() relies on your PHP ini being set up correctly.
Generally, a windows based system needs the SMTP address of your ISP to be
entered in the PHP.ini file.
'unix/Linux systems should run OK with sendmail. but it still has to be set
in PHP.ini
Some ISPs (like BT) have got picky requiring authorisation on their SMTP
servers, so you will have to read the PHP manual to see if and how that can
be handled

How should/could this work locally?

For testing purposes I'd like to be able to run the whole thing just
on my desktop.

I've got apache & php running, and mail s/w, but how to get php
talking to it?

I thought it was enough just to set it to write to the port that the
mail s/w was monitoring, but nothing seems to happen. I'm running
MailEnable, but... :-s

Windows? If yes then run any smtp server on your box or just set value in
php.ini or ini_set in php where your smtp server is located
