According to http://search.cpan.org/dist/Mail-Sender/Sender.pm#AUTHENTICATION : "If you get a "Local user "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" unknown on host "zzz"" message... it only accepts messages to or from a local user." Maybe your server doesn't like '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' as a from field? More likely, 'user' is not a valid email - try using a real email address. I you want to use a name, the format is usually "user <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>".
