Then I assume you're having problems sending e-mails using the PHP mail() function on your localhost, yes?

I haven't even tried yet. I have the code and I know it works cause it has been tested but not in my computer.

I will try to configure it.
But, do you normally have to have any kind of contract or similar with your ISP in order to be able to send emails to another accounts? Is it normally free or does it cost money?

See the requirements here:

and runtime configuration:

Most of the time you use the mailer on the server you're hosting your website on. Try it and see if it works - it should run without any further configuration.
