PHP Mail problems

[Tobierre]

Hi all,

I've got a problem with sending mail from my local box! Anytime I try to
send mail through a script I get the following error:

Warning: mail() [
function.mail]:
SMTP server response: 501 Bad address syntax in ***

I know it's not the script as it works fine on my hosts web server...
PHP ini snip is as follows

[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = smtp.metronet.com
smtp_port = 25

; For Win32 only.
sendmail_from = My****@tesco.net
My config is:
PHP 5.05
Apache 2

Any help/pointers much appreciated!

This is not a PHP problem -- you need to fix your SMTP server
(sendmail, postfix, or whatever)
Start by making sure your config file is accurate, you may want to use
WebMin for this since MTA config files are famous for being hairy. If
that doesn't help, try downloading the the most recent version, and
compile from source if possible.
