Send Mail

[TUF]

I'm using the following code in PHP:

<?php
// Your email address
$email = "TeamStandbyClan@hotmail.co.uk";
// The subject
$subject = "This is a subject";
// The message
$message = "Why, hello...";
mail($email, $subject, $message, "From: $email");
echo "The email has been sent.";
?>

but when I run the script, I get the following message:

Warning: mail(): SMTP server response: 550 5.7.1 Unable to relay for TeamStandbyClan@hotmail.co.uk in \\192.168.1.16\webfiles\files\2006-3\678861\email.php on line 8

What's the problem?

Try this

<?php
// Your email address
$email = "TeamStandbyClan@hotmail.co.uk";
// The subject
$subject = "This is a subject";
// The message
$message = "Why, hello...";
mail($email, $subject, $message, "From:". $email);
echo "The email has been sent.";
?>

Still get the same reply, except, obviously, with the added echo message:

Warning: mail(): SMTP server response: 550 5.7.1 Unable to relay for TeamStandbyClan@hotmail.co.uk in \\192.168.1.16\webfiles\files\2006-3\678861\email.php on line 8
The email has been sent.

Anyone got any idea?

Maybe your hosting does not allow for you to use the sendmail method.

I'm using Ripway.com. Got any other working recommendations?

Send them an email and ask them.
i recently had to build a quote form. All worked fine my end but nothing worked on the clients server. It was due to some setting the hosting company had set.

That'd be the fastest way... Check it with your hosting company... ;)
