mail() error

[batman]

Hello,

I am getting this message when I try to use the mail() function. Please let me know what it means and how I fix it.

Warning: mail(): SMTP server response: 501 Invalid Address in C:\Accounts\jsniggit\wwwRoot\inc\prayer.php on line 105

Line 105 = mail($mail,$subject,$message,$header);

I dont get the invalid address part cause $mail is just my email....

I don't know from your post if this is a local SMTP server or whatsnot. Please provide som more info on which mail server you are using and please post the headers as well. Have you used this SMTP to relay mails before? And what is the mail settings in the php.ini?

This is just a scenario based on: that you have your own smtp setup on a local windows server.
) Check that it's not performing address lookup - this often fails, and could give you the message you have posted.
) Check with your isp that you are allowed to relay mail, that they haven't blocked those ports.
