in reply to SMTP problem

Your SMTP server wont relay material from crap@blah.com. Most likely this is because blah.com isn't the domain the server normally handles. At least thats been the reason when ive seen this error. For instance if I send from "demerphq@lala.com" i get the error you see. If i send from "demerphq@mycompany.com" I dont.

BTW, the part of the code that determines who you are sending from/to is the $smtp->from() and $smtp->to() commands, NOT the text you sending in "To: ..." the latter stuff is strictly for humans and their mail cleints and is ignored when the mail is sent. Thats why its possible to send or receive mails without these headers at all.

    I would second that opinion, especially if you see this sort of message: "Relaying denied. IP name possibly forged." It sounds like you are being blocked by the mail server. You might want to have a chat with the mail administrators to see if this is the case.
