You didn't specify what server you're using but I'm guessing it is Windows. Take a look at the help for the "mail" function, found at:
http://us2.php.net/manual/en/ref.mail.php
for information about how to configure PHP to send mail to a specific SMTP. It may also be useful to look at
http://us2.php.net/manual/en/ini.php
In Unix, I think you have to configure the mail program differently, but I can't immediately recall how that is done.
