It isn't going to be a global PHP or Apache setting.  Neither have a sense of 
"this is my mailserver."  It depends on how the individual PHP script(s) 
is/are written.

It really depends on the PHP script and the Exchange server.  If the PHP 
script can be configured to talk SMTP to the Exchange server, and the 
Exchange server will relay the mail you are in good shape.

If either isn't the case it will probably just be easiest to set up an SMTP 
server locally.
