   We just installed WordPress 3.2.1 on our own Windows company servers. Email notifications aren't working. I tried registering a few fake users and the email with their password isn't being sent.

   Our server admins aren't familiar with PHP. Are there some basic mail settings that they need to configure somewhere other than the WordPress admin area?

   This is resolved. There is a php.ini configuration file in the PHP folder on the server. I opened the file in notepad, and found the [mail function] line and changed it to:

   [mail function]
    For Win32 only.
   SMTP = ourIPaddress
   smtp_port = 25

   I tried adding another test user and the notification email was sent properly.
