Did you install sendmail?



http://www.php.net/mail

Requirements

For the Mail functions to be available, PHP must have access to the
sendmail binary on your system during compile time. If you use
another mail program, such as qmail or postfix, be sure to use the
appropriate sendmail wrappers that come with them. PHP will first
look for sendmail in your PATH, and then in the following: /usr/bin:/
usr/sbin:/usr/etc:/etc:/usr/ucblib:/usr/lib. It's highly recommended
to have sendmail available from your PATH. Also, the user that
compiled PHP must have permission to access the sendmail binary.
