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.
