Mail error: SMTP server response: 550 The address is not valid.

This is the full error:

 

Warning: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 550 The address is not valid. in C:\wamp\www\test.php on line 17

 

And this is my code:

 

<?php
if(@$_POST['submit'])
{
   //Get data from form
   $name = $_POST['name'];
   $message = $_POST['message'];

   if(!empty($name)&&!empty($message))
   {
      $to = "[email protected]";
      $subject = "Activation Email from Andy Websites";
      $from = "[email protected]";
      $headers = "From: [email protected]";

      $body = "This is a email from ".$name."\n\n".$message;

      mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers); // LINE 17

   } else {
      echo 'Please fill out all fields.';
   }
}
?>

 

I'm really confused :S

Maybe the SMTP server you are using needs authorization (which is not possible with php's mail() function). What mail server are you using?

hMailServer, I couldn't find any others haha. Just chose the first one I saw.

 

What would you recommend using?

 

Thanks,

Andy.

Haven't used that one, actually haven't used much php's mail at all. Got a lil experience with sendmail (linux) but thats it. Maybe this helps: http://www.hmailserver.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=4685 ?

Unless live.co.uk is your domain you will always have trouble trying to send mail pretending to be from that domain.

 

You should send your email from a valid email address on the same server that is actually sending the mail.

I give up on email send scripts, they've never worked for me lol.

 

It confuses the shit out of me this does.
