Thank you all for your consideration and especially you, Gonzalo, for this solution to my problem. I do not have access to php.ini as it is on the hosting server. In addition, as I stated in my original post, a "plain vanilla" PHP file containing a call to the mail function works.
I have decided to address the issue be upgrading to v1.2.1.8004 and try the Email Component.
