Can my home iMac server send mail via PHP script?

Hi there! I'm curious about sending email via PHP script when I have my personal web server turned on via my iMac. I'm a SBC/ATT DSL subscriber. I use an iMac computer (Leopard OS). I set up the Web Sharing and PHP that is preconfigured so that about an hour or two a day when I turn the web sharing server on, my kids can meet up, swap some notes about what's going on with them, and fill in a form that is a PHP form. The form works great "except" that the mail is not sent; i.e., the info they enter into the form is not sent to my address ([email protected]). Nothing is sent.

I keep my iMac web sharing on for about 2 hours per day so they know to be punctual if they can to touch base with the rest of the family.

So my question is, is it not permitted as a SBC Global subscriber to run one's own web server via their home computer and as a SBC Global subscriber to turn on for a couple hours a day and the visitor runs a PHP forms script that sends their input back to me? The script uses the basic PHP Mail function. Everything else about the forms script is working fine except that no mail (form input data) is being sent back to me.

Thank you for any clarification on this.

Thanks.
