I have just installed Punbb 1.2.1 and am very impressed !

I am using on Windows 2000/IIS 5 server.

In testing, new users are not receiving registration confirmation emails.  I do not have any SMTP information filled out on the config page, based on recommendations found in this forum.  Therefore, I assume I am relying on the php_mail function, or some email functionality native to php.

Is there a way to test the PHP email functionality independent of punbb, maybe with a simple script snippet?  Bear in mind, I really know nothing about PHP other than what I needed to know to install it for PunBB.

I am my own host provider, so if this functionality is disabled, it's not intentional ! 

Any help or commentary would be appreciated.
