Cannot send mail with PHP mail() command

[Happy_Gillmore]

I transfered my website to my ubuntu 8.04 server, ISPCONFIG 2.

I had some issues with smtp authentication through email clients but at least I could email from PHP scripts.

I re-installed the server from scratch and now smtp works fine with email clients but no longer with PHP scripts!

Here is my /var/log/mail.log

In the log I found this:
from=<www-data@server1.domain.net>
This is not the variable being passed as the FROM email address.


status=bounced (host mx.domain.com[66.96.142.50] said: 550 5.1.0 error: R4.1: 70.25.41.161 (in reply to MAIL FROM command))


I also made sure the FROM email alias existed on my server.


Where does it get this weird email address from?

Do you use mod_php or suphp?

SMTP Error 550: This message indicates that the recipient specified in the RCPT command is not locally hosted on the server and relaying options prevent the message being forwarded to the recipient.

double check the email adres you're trying to send an email to :)
