how to use SMTP server?

Hello,
I use Windows XP Professional and PHP5 with Apache web server. I would like
to send email from PHP5 code. I learnt that I should have SMTP server. I
downloaded and installed Free SMTP Server - this is (as I think) simple mail
server, available for free. I run it, but in Options dialog I see only:
- DNS Server: Autodetect / Specific DNS server - I choose Autodetect
- SMTP Port: Standard #25 / Specufic port - I choose Standard
I PHP5 configuration file (php.ini) I need to specify sendmail-from addess.
So I guess I need to (at least) prepare a local email address. How to do it?
Please help.
/RAM/

If your aim is to send messages to external addresses then
you do not need your own SMTP server. You simply specify
your ISP's SMTP server. Its name is smtp.poczta.onet.pl.
