Welome to WebmasterWorld minor,

PHP uses the mail system that is installed on the server. As far as I know there is no way to bypass that by having php send mail without some type of mail software.

I assume that if you try using the mail [php.net] function you get an error or some such.

I have found that many hosting companies misconfigure php and mail is the spot that is often the problem. If you know for a fact that the server can't mail then you may be stuck. If you are not then you may need to call them and ask.
