mail() sent error

[suzie]

Hello Dear,
I'am using the mail() function to send e-mail from a php script ( via smtp, IIS- Microsoft component):

<?php

$name=$POST['name'];
$subject=$POST['subject'];
$message=$_POST['message'];
$to = "[e-mail]";

if ( mail($to, $subject, $message))

echo 'sent';

else
echo 'not sent';

?>

The e-mail is not sent, please can any one help me with this issue..and how can I get an error report to know what is the problem.

thank you

I reported the error and it is:

SMTP server response: 550 5.7.1 Unable to relay for [e-mail] in file ...php line ...

please any help.

You probably need to set a "From:" header that is a valid email address on your web host:

$headers = "From: [e-mail]";
if ( mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers))

Hi,
Thanks a lot for your reply...I added the header but it is still the same error, I initialize in the php.ini the "sendmail_from".

thanks a lot.
