3) Now configure that mail function as below:

[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
; http://php.net/smtp
SMTP = smtp.wlink.com.np
; http://php.net/smtp-port
smtp_port = 25

4) Okay this is good now next step. Search for the below line and configure the email address that you want to sent other emails.

; For Win32 only.
; http://php.net/sendmail-from
;sendmail_from = you@yourdomain

5) Remove semicolon(;) and write your email address as below:
