You don't mention what version of PHP you're using, however the mail() function in PHP for Windows is a bit buggy (certainly in 5.2.6 to 5.3.0):

Bug #28038 Sent incorrect RCPT TO commands to SMTP server

I'd recommend, as others have, using SwiftMailer or PHPMailer instead.

Except using Swift Mailer or PHPMailer you need to make sure your server is configured properly to use another server to send emails.

The warnings in your test page suggest that you are be using Gmail's SMTP server. Gmail requires both encryption and authentication and these features are not supported by plain mail() function. You need to use a library that implements them, such as Swift Mailer or PHPMailer.

Have you thought about using PHPMailer- it has more sophisticated means available to send mail should the mail() function fail, and better error support in general...not to mention a whole raft of functionality.
