What type of machine are is your server? If it is a local windows box you need to set up an smtp mailer address. Also you really should include a "From:" header and you don't need the double quotes around the variable names in the mail() function.
[code]<?php
$to = $_POST['email'];
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$message = $_POST['message'] ;
$headers = "From: youremail@address.here\n";
mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);
?>[/code]

An example of the mail function when the mail is setup on your php.ini ok.

$to = 'bob@barnyard.com';
$subject = 'Wakeup bob!';
$message = '<b>yo</b>, whassup?';
$headers = "From: server@barnyard.com\r\n" .
      'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion() . "\r\n" .
      "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n" .
      "Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8\r\n" .
      "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\r\n\r\n";

// Send
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

$sender = $_POST['sender'];
