Mail-lib provides a simple interface to the sendmail program
Note you must actually have sendmail on your machine (sorry windows NT users).

<?php 

function  send_mail($to_address,  $from_address,  $subject,  $message)  { 

$path_to_sendmail  =  "/usr/lib/sendmail"; 
$fp  =  popen( "$path_to_sendmail  -t",  "w"); 
$num  =  fputs($fp,  "To:  $to_address\n"); 
$num  +=  fputs($fp,  "From:  $from_address\n"); 
$num  +=  fputs($fp,  "Subject:  $subject\n\n"); 
$num  +=  fputs($fp,  "$message"); 
pclose($fp); 
if  ($num  >  0)  { 
    return  1; 
}  else  { 
    return  0; 
} 

}
