PHP Mailer

[PRodgers4284]

Im trying out a phpmailer example but i cant seem to get it to send the email, im getting an error about the from address that it is being sent.

 

Im getting the followng error "Message was not sent.Mailer error: The following From address failed: *************@yahoo.com"

 

I havent modified the phpmailer.php as im not sure what i need to change, has anyone got any ideas?

 

 

<?php 
require("class.phpmailer.php"); 
$mail = new PHPMailer(); 
$mail->IsSMTP(); // telling the class to use SMTP 
$mail->Host = "smtp.yahoo.com"; // SMTP server 
$mail->Password = '*********'; 
$mail->From = "*************@yahoo.com"; 
$mail->AddAddress("************@yahoo.co.uk"); 
$mail->Subject = "First PHPMailer Message"; 
$mail->Body = "Hi! \n\n This is my first e-mail sent through PHPMailer."; 
$mail->WordWrap = 50; 

if(!$mail->Send()) 
{ 
   echo 'Message was not sent.'; 
   echo 'Mailer error: ' . $mail->ErrorInfo; 
} 
else 
{ 
   echo 'Message has been sent.'; 
} 
?>

You don't have access to your own mail server? You should be able to use whatever SMTP server is set up on your hosting server. I believe you can also set PHPMailer to use the mail function as well.
