Hi Jason, this is not a PHP problem. As the message states: The intranet SMTP server you are addressing does not support "proxy function" and refuses to forward your mail to e.g. hotmail. OTOH if you want to send directly you have to do ini_set("SMTP", "SMTP_server_you_want_to_drop_your_mail_at") just before calling mail();

It works for addresses that are internal on the intranet - but as soon as I try sending to an external address such as [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have problems with the folllowing error message: > SMTP server response: 550 Relaying denied > > here is the portion code: > > $firstName = $data["FirstName"]; > $emailAddress = $data["EmailAddress"]; > > $mail_to = $emailAddress; > $mail_subject = "RE: NEWS SUBSCRIPTION"; > $mail_body = "Dear " .$firstName .
