This is my php code:

$from = FROM_EMAIL;
$to = TO_EMAIL;
$subject = FHD_TITLE . ‘ New Registration’;
// message
$message = ‘
New Registration
New User Registration
Name: ‘ . $name . ‘
Login: ‘ . $login . ‘
Email: ‘ . $email . ‘
‘;
$headers = “From:” . $from . “\r\n”;
$headers .=”Reply-To: ” . $from . “\r\n”;
$headers .=”MIME-Version: 1.0″ . “\r\n”;
$headers .=”Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1″ . “\r\n”;
if (mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers))
{
echo “Message Sent”;
}

; you must change mail.mydomain.com to your smtp server,
; or to IIS’s “pickup” directory. (generally C:\Inetpub\mailroot\Pickup)

I think you could try changing the smtp_port:25 in senmail.ini file to smtp_port:587
