If I had to take a wild guess I'd say that there's no mail server on
your machine that would be capable of accepting email for delivery.
And that Warning is PHP's effort to tell you just that.
Hint: google - and I bet most other search engines - give you plenty
of sites providing good information on SMTP. When done reading a bit I
also recommend php.net/mail and maybe php.net/ini-set.

PS: the right place? It is, as long as you've done your homework and
made a reasonable effort to figure things out by means of reading
documentation and doing a search on the net for the obvious.
