You can also use gmail for sending e mails and use gmails smtp server -- check out http://drupal.org/project/smtp and http://drupal.org/project/phpmailer to make these work u will need php extension for open ssl as gmail only accepts ssl connections to its servers.

You should then be able to use your ISP's mail server - make sure your send from email is set to the same as your personal address.

FYI - You may need to authenticate to your ISP's mail server

No I don't have any email server setup. I am prototyping on my local workstation.

Is your mail server set up?

I get the below error when I initially set up drupal and whenever it tries to send an email:

* warning: mail(): Failed to connect to mailserver at "localhost" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set() in C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0\webapps\drupal\includes\mail.inc on line 193. * Unable to send e-mail.

How do I fix this?

Thanks,
