is it not possible to send mail from localhost 2 other domain

is this information sufficient?
please answer.

Dear you can send information to any one from your local host. I can say this because I used it in ASP in IIS.

But as the PHP is concern I used Apache web server

with few modifications, i m getting error:

Warning: mail(): SMTP server response: 550 5.7.1 Unable to relay for xyz@somedomain.com in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\misc\mail.php on line 2

code of file:
<?php
mail("xyz@somedomain.com", "My Subject", "Line 1\nLine 2\nLine 3");
?>

Does your target server have mail relaying enabled? Usually it wouldn't, for security reasons, unles the serevr admin knows you want to use mail relay. If you have authentication for relaying mail, then an intervening firewall or router may be blocking it. Since you seem to be running Windows kit, you might want to have a look at this article for Exchange Server users:
