  • Help please!! Warning: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 503 RCPT first (

Hello, I am a beginner when it comes to this so please bear with me.
I used a template for my website; xml with deep linking sort of website. According to the creator, all I had to was work with the contact form variable and the php should work as is. But here's what I got when I tested it:

Warning: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 503 RCPT first (#5.5.1) in D:\Hosting\5972300\html_files\blackvelvet_contact.php on line 33

Warning: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 503 RCPT first (#5.5.1) in D:\Hosting\5972300\html_files\blackvelvet_contact.php on line 37
&emailstatus=1

Below's the php code

<?php

/*

SET THE VARIABLES

*/

$contactTo = $POST['contactTo'];
$contactFrom = $POST['contactFrom'];
$contactSubject = $POST['contactSubject'];
$contactMessage = $POST['contactMessage'];

$userTo = $POST['userTo'];
$userFrom = $POST['userFrom'];
$userSubject = $POST['userSubject'];
$userMessage = $POST['userMessage'];

// Split the contactTo emails
$contactToArray = explode(",", $contactTo);

/*

EMAIL THE INFO

*/

// Loop through each of the contact emails
for ($i = 0; $i < sizeof($contactToArray); ++$i) {

// Send an email to each of your emails
mail($contactToArray[$i], $contactSubject, $contactMessage, "From: ".$contactFrom);

}

// Send a confirmation email to the user
mail($userTo, $userSubject, $userMessage, "From: ".$userFrom);

echo '&emailstatus=1';

?>

    I read that before posting (amongst many other posts on the issue at hand, but I'm still lost)... I have no idea what is meant by

    "If a RCPT command appears without a previous MAIL command, the server MUST return a 503 "Bad sequence of commands" response."

    As I posted earlier, I am a beginner, so please bear with me. If the quote above has some answer, I am not seeing it. Please explain it to me. I will be eternally grateful!

      In case more info maybe needed, here's my contact.xml file:
