First of all, the built-in php mail[^] function is sometimes not reliable, but the biggest problem is that you need php.ini level configuration. In a hosted environment you either have set it up or not, you can ovverride on host level or not... so I suggest to switch to PHPMailer[^], here is a short tutorial how to use it with gmail as smtp relay: http://www.web-development-blog.com/archives/send-e-mail-messages-via-smtp-with-phpmailer-and-gmail/[^]
