I am running Apache Version Apache/1.3.22 

ScriptAlias /php/ "f:/php/"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
Action application/x-httpd-php "/php/php.exe"
LoadModule php4_module f:/php/sapi/php4apache.dll
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

php script:

<?
ini_set("SMTP", "blah@blah.com");
mail("me@blah.com", "My Subject", "My Body");
?>

I get 
Warning: Failed to Connect in C:\apache\htdocs\mail_test.php on line 3

The same script works fine on my FreeBSD box. I have seen posts around the same issue but have not grasped a clear understanding of any type of resolve.

The bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking support
questions. For a list of a range of more appropriate places to ask
for help using PHP, please visit http://www.php.net/support.php

I'll be sure to follow your request to throw this into the support forum but I think this is a bug regardless.

My apologies. It looks as though one must be sure of their smtp server. I am trying to use smtp.mail.yahoo.com with a vaild @yahoo.com address but it is still not working.

If that last comment I made were true, however, why am I not getting the same error message on the FreeBSD box?

Haven't yahoo recently switched to authenticated smtp?
I believe you need to log in to your POP3 mailbox from
the machine that you want to send mail from, otherwise
it will not allow you to connect.
