Hi I am creating a newsletter system. The software should run from
desktop computer (localhost) but be able to send email to anyone on
the internet. Can you guys give me some ideas on how to achieve this.

Usual and easiest way is to have two components: some kind of a mailer
(like sendmail) and your program submitting messages to it. So you
have sendmail installed and:

SMTP localhost
smtp_port 25

in your php.ini

in your program you call mail($email, $subject, $message) and sendmail
will take care of the rest
