You need a public mail server to send an email to anyone other than yourself.

 

A public mail server is a valid mail server that has a domain name associated with it and has all the necessary DNS records setup so that a receiving mail server can check and will accept emails from the sending mail server.

 

What exactly are you trying to accomplish?

I'm guessing that your wanting to test a mail script, if you have error_reporting() on, you should get a warning when you try to use the mail function with no smtp settings set up - this serves as a way of checking that the mail function, functions!
