Forms to Email?

russellbcv

I am having problems getting the form to email to work. Am I missing anything.....There seems to be a problem with line 9 within my php file.

(Error Log >)
[Fri Mar 11 08:52:05 2005] [error] PHP Warning: mail() [<a href='function.mail'>function.mail</a>]: SMTP server response: 553 sorry, you don't authenticate or the domain isn't in the list of allowed rcpthosts in c:\Apache\htdocs\feedback.php on line 9

(Configuration Info)

(php.ini)
SMTP = smtp.company1.com
Sendmail_from = user@company1.com

(feedback.html)

<html>
<head> <title>Feedback Form</title> </head>
<body>
<form action="feedback.php" method="post">
Name:<input type="text" name="username" size="30">
<br> <br>
Email:<input type="text" name="useraddr" size="30">
<br> <br>
<textarea name="comments" cols="30" rows="5">
</textarea><br>
<input type="submit" value="Send Form">
</form>
</body>
</html>

(feedback.php)

<?php
$username = $POST['username'];
$useraddr = $POST['useraddr'];
$comments = $_POST['comments'];

  $to = "user@company1.com";
  $re = "Website Feedback";
  $msg = $comments;
  Mail( $to, $re, $msg );

<html>
<head><title>Message Received</title></head>
<body>
<h3>Thanks for your comments</h3>
Message received from <?php echo( $username ); ?>
<br>
Reply to <?php echo( $useraddr ); ?>
</body>
</html>

Please can somebody check to see if I have entered the correct information or missing anything? Also, with regards to email do I need to have a email server to make this work or can I use my microsoft outlook account ?

The error message that you get simply means that the mail server you are using does not allow you to use it cause your computer domain is not allowed to use it.

For example, let's say the the mail server of AOL only allows computers connected to the Internet via AOL (so their domain will have AOL somewhere in it... something like ip123456789.us.aol.com), if you try to access it from a domain different from AOL (let's say videotron.ca), you won't be allowed to use it.

Does this help?
