As a simple starter mailer that is ok, I tend to add another variable like so,

$headers = 'From: webmaster@example.com' . "\r\n" .
    'Reply-To: webmaster@example.com' . "\r\n" ;

mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers); 

However, your problem seems more to do with PHP not being able to open the port assigned to SMTP.

Have a look at this link, http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.mail.php

Seeing as you're probably new to the mail function, I advise you to contact your webhost. If you're running it on your own server, SMTP may not be properly configured, or not work at all.
