You need a mail server program installed. Most commonly used mail server is Sendmail which is available at www.sendmail.org. Then you need to configure your php.ini file. Also check that sendmail module for php is installed and enabled. You can get that detail by using phpinfo(). If everything is set use mail(). Documentation for mail function is at http://in.php.net/mail. If you get any more problems just post it here. I will try to help you.

Hey there!! I guess you will need to setup a local mail server program in the intranet. After that you can simply use the php mail function to send emails. If I get more info I ll get back to you. But I am sure you will need a mail server program. You may find many freeware mailserver applications on the net..
