php mail() from localhost

Question

I've a website in localhost (WAMP) and I'm trying to send a mail. I've made the right configuration in the php.ini file but still error is showing.

I've already checked other topics in SO but none of the answers resolve my problem :( So if someone can help me, thank you ! :)

PS : I'm sending mail using PHP for the first time.

Your SMTP server requires authentication. Try adding auth configuration to your php.ini and restart the server:

auth_username=yourUsername
auth_password=yourPassword

Maybe an easier way to configure and send email would be to use 3rd party library, for example PHPMailer.
