You might want to consider the Swift Mailer library

http://swiftmailer.org/

It makes doing email from PHP code much more reliable. You could even point your mailer script to a real SMTP service. This can eliminate a a lot of issues you would run into when moving from local to to production environments.

Using swift mailer is as simple as using a single include at the top of your PHP script and writing a code block to send a simple message. And it is fully object oriented.
