PHP - Smtp Server Response: 550 Authentication Is Required

I have a piece of code that works on one domain but not on another.  On the domain running php 5.1 all is ok.  On the domain running php 4.4 I get this error:

SMTP server response: 501 5.5.4 Invalid Address

Hosting service keeps telling me there must be an error in the code.  If that's the case why would it work on version 5.1?

Here is the code, I don't know what could be wrong.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

<?php
// set flag to indicate whether mail has been sent
$mailSent = false;
$sent = false;
if (array_key_exists('sendComments', $_POST)) {
  // mail processing script
  // remove escape characters from POST array
  if (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
    function stripslashes_deep($value) {
    $value = is_array($value) ? array_map('stripslashes_deep', $value) : stripslashes($value);
    return $value;
    }
    $_POST = array_map('stripslashes_deep', $_POST);
  }
  // validate the input, beginning with name
  $name = trim($_POST['name']);
  if (empty($name)) {
    $error['name'] = 'Please enter your name';
  }
  $phone = trim($_POST['phone']);
  $email = $_POST['email'];
  // check for valid email address
  $pattern = '/^[^@]+@[^\s\r\n\'";,@%]+$/';
  if (!preg_match($pattern, trim($email))) {
    $error['email'] = 'Please enter a valid email address';
  }
  // check the content of the text area
  $messageBody = trim($_POST['message']);
  if (empty($messageBody)) {
    $error['message'] = 'Please enter your message';
  }
  // initalize variables
  $to = 'jim@independent-micro.com';
  $subject = 'Feedback from PCI-Controls web site';
  // build the message
  $message = "From: $name\n\n";
  $message .= "Email: $email\n\n";
  $message .= "Phone Number: $phone\n\n";
  $message .= "Comments: $messageBody";
  // build additional headers
  $additionalHeaders = "From: PCI Controls Web Site<$email>\r\n";
  $additionalHeaders .= "Reply-To: $email";
  // send the mail if ther are no errors
  if (!isset($error)) {
    $mailSent = mail($to, $subject, $message, $additionalHeaders);
   // check to see if sent successfully
   if (!$mailSent) {
     $error['notSent'] = 'Sorry there is a problem sending your message.  Please try later.';
   }
   else {
     $sent = true;
   }
  }
} 
?>

$to=sammieave@ave.com,samuel@ave.com;
$subject  = "New Event Logged";
$message  = "Test";
$headers = "From: Samuel<sammieave@ave.com>;\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html";
mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);

I am having the above code but unfortunately the error I am getting is:

Warning: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 550 Requested action not taken: mailbox unavailable or not local in C:\xampp\htdocs\CRM\support\mailer.php on line 139

Hi I really would appreciate if some phpfreak can help me with this please .

I need to my contact page send emails so that when recipient receives it, it comes with the correct domain  (same as the web address) it is coming from rather than the server name.

At the moment they are coming as    abcd20@elessar.nocdirect.com

and would like them come as abcd20@myowndomain.com  (lets say my password for that email is 'zzzaaa' and the domain was  myowndomain.com )

Here is my email contact php script which works fine and hopefully would not have to change too much.

My Contact form is posting to 'send.php' . On top of my contacts page there is a js script for 'jquery.js' and some jQuery stuff for validation..

Have seen many scripts but could not adapt to my existing send.php  script. Can you please help?

------ Content of 'send.php' -----------------------------------
<?php

if(!$_POST) exit;

$email = $_POST['email'];


//$error[] = preg_match('/\b[A-Z0-9._%-]+@[A-Z0-9.-]+\.[A-Z]{2,4}\b/i', $_POST['email']) ? '' : 'INVALID EMAIL ADDRESS';
if(!eregi("^[a-z0-9]+([_\\.-][a-z0-9]+)*" ."@"."([a-z0-9]+([\.-][a-z0-9]+)*)+"."\\.[a-z]{2,}"."$",$email )){
$error.="Invalid email address entered";
$errors=1;
}
if($errors==1) echo $error;
else{
$values = array ('name','email','phone','message');
$required = array('name','email','phone','message');
 
$your_email = "abcd20@myowndomain.com";
$email_subject = "New Message: ".$_POST['subject'];
$email_content = "New message:\n";

foreach($values as $key => $value){
  if(in_array($value,$required)){
if ($key != 'subject' && $key != 'company') {
  if( empty($_POST[$value]) ) { echo 'PLEASE FILL IN REQUIRED FIELDS'; exit; }
}
$email_content .= $value.': '.$_POST[$value]."\n";
  }
}
 
if(@mail($your_email,$email_subject,$email_content)) {

How to add SMTP authentication for PHP mail form which is using POST function...

Hi
 
I am very new to PHP. I'm wanting a feedback form on my website where the form is sent via SMTP rather than sendmail.
I have checked that php is working by doing this code:

Code: [Select]
<?php

error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', True);

$path = '/home/****/php';
set_include_path(get_include_path() . PATH_SEPARATOR . $path);

echo("<p>Sending PEAR Mail.php...</p>");

require('Mail.php');

 $from = "Info <info@***.co.uk>";
 $to = "Info <info@***.co.uk>";
 $subject = "Hi - Test message!";
 $body = "Hi,\n\nHow are you?";
 
 $host = "mail.***.co.uk";
 $username = "info@***.co.uk";
 $password = "***";
 
 $headers = array ('From' => $from,
   'To' => $to,
   'Subject' => $subject);
 $smtp = Mail::factory('smtp',
   array ('host' => $host,
     'auth' => true,
     'username' => $username,
     'password' => $password));
 
 $mail = $smtp->send($to, $headers, $body);
 
 if (PEAR::isError($mail)) {
   echo("<p>" . $mail->getMessage() . "</p>");
  } else {
   echo("<p>Message successfully sent!</p>");
  }
 ?>

This works fine.

I then created a form in my contact page:
 
Code: [Select]
<form name="feedbackform" action="form-mailer2.php" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="Required" value="Name,Comments">
<p>Name: <input name="Name" size="30"> <span class="formsmall">required</span></p>
<p>E-mail: <input name="Email" size="30"> <span class="formsmall">optional</span></p>
<p>Feedback/Comments:</p>
<p><textarea name="Comments" rows="5" cols="40"></textarea></p>
<p><input type="submit" value="Submit" name="submitform"><input type="reset" value="Reset" name="reset"></p>
</form>


I then used the code based on the php initial example and the code file that would get the form details from the contact page and send to the email address via smtp. I have left the validations in - although if these are no good please feel free to tell me! I will want to put a captcha in but need to look into that yet.

Anyway, the code I have created is now this (which is saved in the file form-mailer2.php):

Code: [Select]
<?php       

error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', True);

$path = '/home/****/php';
set_include_path(get_include_path() . PATH_SEPARATOR . $path);

echo("<p>Sending PEAR Mail.php...</p>");

require('Mail.php');

 $mailfrom = "info@***.co.uk";
$mailTo = "info@***.co.uk"; 
$mailSubject = "Web Feedback"; 
$mailHost = "mail.***.co.uk"; 
$mailPort = "25"; 
$mailAuth = "true"; 
$mailPassword = "****"; 

// Get the form fields.
$name = $_POST['Name'];
$email = $_POST['Email'];
$comments = $_POST['Comments'];
$reqFields = $_POST['Required'];

// I find including the time/date useful for record-keeping.
// Note that it is the web server's time/date, not yours
// or the sender's.
$date = date("l jS F Y, g:i A");

// A simple yet reasonably effective email address validator.
if ((!ereg(".+\@.+\..+", $email)) || (!ereg("^[a-zA-Z0-9_@.-]+$", $email))) {
$errorMessages .= "<li>Invalid email address: $email</li>";
}

// Make sure required fields are filled in.
$checkFields = explode(",",$reqFields);
while(list($theField) = each($checkFields)) {
if(!$$checkFields[$theField]) {
$errorMessages .= "<li>Missing $checkFields[$theField]</li>";
}
}

// If there are errors, display them and a back button.
if($errorMessages) { ?>
<p>Errors were found on the form.</p>
<ul>
<?php echo $errorMessages; ?>
</ul>
<p><input type="button" value="Back" onClick="history.back()"></p>
<?php
}
// No errors, send the message and print out success message.
else {


// Build the email.
$body = "            Name: $Name
           Email: $Email
           Phone: $Phone

----- Comments -----
$Comments
--------------------
       



$headers["From"]    = $mailTo;
$headers["To"]      = $mailTo;
$headers["Subject"] = $mailSubject;
$params["host"] = $mailHost;
$params["port"] = $mailPort;
$params["auth"] = $mailAuth;
$params["username"] = $mailTo;
$params["password"] = $mailPassword;
     
      $headers = array ('From' => $from,
   'To' => $to,
   'Subject' => $subject);
 $smtp = Mail::factory('smtp',
   array ('host' => $host,
     'auth' => true,
     'username' => $username,
     'password' => $password));
 
 $mail = $smtp->send($mailTo, $headers, $body);
 
 if (PEAR::isError($mail)) {
   echo("<p>" . $mail->getMessage() . "</p>");
  } else {
   echo("<p>Message successfully sent!</p>");
  }
 //  I would rather redirect to a different thank you page but both of next options don't work when taking out:    echo("<p>Message successfully sent!</p>"); 
 //RedirectToURL("thank-you.php");   or  header(Location: "thank-you.php" );  


?>


Depending on what I change about I either get:
 
The website cannot display the page or a list of undefinable variables.

If anyone is able to understand the php and notice where the problem lies I would be so grateful.


Thank you.
