Re: mail problem

[Brent Baisley <brent@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It probably means your email server is not setup for open relaying (aka 
spam server). Mail servers should require a login in order to send 
email through them. The mail() function itself doesn't support names 
and passwords, but other php functions do. You might want to look into 
phpmailer to handle you email needs.

Alternatively, you could setup your email server to allow open relaying 
from the localhost. But that's not really recommended even if you know 
exactly what you are doing with the mail server configuration.
