Jump to PostAny reason for this post since you are adding to a thread that is two years old? Just trying to add to your post count and or push Drupal for your own purposes?
It isn't really a PHP question but In reply to the first part, everyone will probably have a different opinion on which is the best CMS based on their own experience. I attempted some informal assessment of some of the more popular CMS's such as Joomla, Drupal and Wordpress along with the one I had been using Website Baker (WB). With ease of setup and use as one of my highest priorities, I found that Website Baker was more straightforward to understand and use than the other ones. Wordpress was also pretty good (and it can do more than just blog). I found Joomla and Drupla frustrating although lots of people have obviously figured them out.
If you want something that you can get working pretty quickly without a large learning curve try WB.

Wordpress is very good if you want a blog site, joomla and drupal are good also but these are best for ecommerce sites, IN MY OWN OPINION. I'm a drupal user and I love it.
Regarding sending emails via localhost, I'm using XAMPP as my localhost server, it has MercuryMail, put it running. Download Pegasus Mail, set it to mercury mail. Create your localhost email. Then, bingo. Pegasus has nice documentation, just a few effort to read how to do so..
Also, an advise, there are some email providers that do not accept localhost emails but gmail and yahoo do accept them.
Thanks.
