I'm sure it's an easy one.
I can't use mail function. I get an error message: 
Failed to connect to mailserver at "localhost" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini.
But I work locally only. All I did was changing "sendmail_from = " in php.ini file.
Do I have to change smtp and smtp_port settings also? If so, what parameters should I give there?
Thanks

To use mail you'll need to point it to an actual SMTP server. If you dont have an SMTP installed on your local machine it will not send an email. See if you can find a public SMTP server which does require authentication in order to send an email, as mail does support this. You shouldn't have to change the port number as SMTP servers run on port 25
