How do I send an email?

[The Frog]

I am running PHP on a Windows account, and I have been unable to send emails. The code I am using is:

mail("$to", "$subject", "$msg", "$headers");

I get an error/warning message:

Warning: mail(): SMTP server response: 503 RCPT first (#5.5.1) in C:\hshome\mendhak\mendhak.com\sendfriend.php on line 38

Currently, mendhak.com hasn't been transferred to this server, so you can see the error here:

http://d17943.u27.jodoshared.com/main.php

(Click on the 'tell a friend' image)

Any suggestions?

If you can specify your SMTP server somehow, it would work

For some reason, it works now.

Now two of my three eyes are twiching. And I'm not even sure of the spelling of twitching!!!

yes, we specified the SMTP server in php.ini. Think that did the trick
