Well (a) it has nothing to do with outlook.

How do you plan on sending the email? Where is this site hosted? What account are you sending from?

Look into phpmailer, it's a class that handles much of this for you.

use mail(). See if it works.

If not, you need to install a mail server, configure it properly, and point PHP to it. There are tutorials and manuals out there for it.

There's also articles on how to configure PHP mailer to use gmail as an outgoing host.
