Can't send mail using mail()

Recommended Posts

Hi all:
I am facing a strange problem here.
I developed a small application where after filling up a form when users press SUBMIT button then an auto mail will be sent to an address locally. We are under a windows domain say, abc.com.

There are two types of address, those who are using internet to send receive mail from both locally and from outside address (like yahoo) is <username@abc.com.bd> and others only can send-receive mail locally is <username@abc.com>.
Both type of users can easily send-receive mails between them.

So, I just edited these two lines of php.ini file
[php.ini]
SMTP = xyz.abc.com.bd // gave our smtp server name
sendmail_from = "tanveer@abc.com.bd" // my email address

So after changing I restarted the apache server and sent mail. But after that one time I cant send mails anymore.
It gives a warning like: [b]Can't receive in ..... in line 5. [/b]
That is the line where the mail() function is written. But that same file, if I upload it in our webserver then it works fine.

What could be the problem?
Thanks in advance.

[/code]

feedback.php
[code]
<?php
  if ( empty($_POST[email]) || empty ($_POST[name])|| empty ($_POST[comments]))
    {

       if (empty($_POST[email]))  echo "<center><b> Email address is a required field </b></center>";
       if (empty($_POST[name]))  echo "<center><b> Name is a required field </b></center>";
       if (empty($_POST[comments]))  echo "<center><b> Comments is a required field </b></center>";

       }

else {

$from=$_POST[email];

$headers= "From: $from \r\n";
$headers .= "MIME-Version:1.0\n" . "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1";

mail ("tanveer@abc.com.bd","Website Feedback",$_POST[comments], $headers);

echo "YOUR COMMENTS HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULLY SUBMITTED TO THE WEBMASTER";

}
?>
[/code]

The same code will work if I upload it to the webserver using ftp.
