mail() function problems...

[Anon]

I keep getting a 'server error' returned when I try to send mail.

I'm using Win98, PHP4, and Apache/1.3.12.

I've set up my php.ini with the following settings:

SMTP mail.moose.co.uk
sendmail_from [e-mail] sendmail_path no value

the code i'm using is just a hardwired tester as follows:

<?
$to = "[e-mail]";
$subject = "subject header";
$msg = "message text";
$headers = "From: [e-mail]\r\nReply-To: [e-mail]";
mail("$to", "$subject", "$msg", "$headers");
echo "finished!";
?>

is there a problem with my SERVER_NAME setting? (which is currently set to: [e-mail]). If this is a problem, how do I change this setting, it is not part of the php.ini?

or should I have a word with my ISP? If so, what should I ask them?

any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Ian

What's the error? Could be a number of things, perhaps the ISP has turned off mail relay services so spammers can't bounce off them, maybe you need your password, maybe something else.
