That is correct Neil. The second you try to add a display name to the RCPT command it fails. I think windows only accepts a display name in the DATA field. I'm thinking this is a Mediawiki problem at this point.. not a PHP problem.

First, it doesn't use a local binary for composing messages but only operates on direct sockets which means a MTA is needed listening on a network socket (which can either on the localhost or a remote machine). Second, the custom headers like From:, Cc:, Bcc: and Date: are not interpreted by the MTA in the first place, but are parsed by PHP. As such, the to parameter should not be an address in the form of "Something <someone@xxxxxxxxxxx>". The mail command may not parse this properly while talking with the MTA. >From the example you show, it seems your problem is the last two sentences. i.e. "DanMashal <dmashal@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>" is not valid on windows.
