What does a Webserver have  to do with a mail-transport? Maybe they have
installed Webserver but not set up a mail-transport?

I have always used a nice wrapper class for sending emails in which you can
spesifiy an external mail server (For small simple things makes
configuration much easier).

http://www.phpclasses.org/browse/file/919.html

This ins't the best way of sending out many emails but does the job for a
few emails, with out having to have a mail transport set up and installed.

Also this wrapper can be changed to use the localmail transport with a
change in config. :P
