mail() function and QK SMTP Server problem

hello,

Can anybody help me regarding to the problem in sending email using mail() function and QK SMTP Server?

I'm using mail() function and run in the localhost. The script look like this:

<?php

function sendMail()
{
$to = "zzairiez@yahoo.com";
$subject = "testing sending email";
$msg = "I completely understand SMTP servers!";
$headers = "From: zairi@genaxis.com.my";

mail("$to", "$subject", "$msg", "$headers");
echo "message sent!";
}

?>
<html>
<body>
<form name="" method="post" action="md5.php">
<input name="send" type="submit" value="Send">
</form>

<?
if($_POST['send'] == "Send")
{
sendMail();
}
?>

</body>
</html>

I already tried to send email to gmail account and it is successful. However when I'm tried to send to the yahoo account the message from QK SMTP Server tell that "sending email failed".

So, what is the solution regarding to this problem?
It is require setting to the QK SMTP Server to allow me to send email to yahoo account?

Have you tried other accounts rather than GMail and Yahoo? If they work, it may be due to Yahoo having a blacklist report on your IP or mail server. -_-;

Are you using a relay?

[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = localhost

; For Win32 only.
sendmail_from = postmaster@localhost

Above is the setting in my php.ini

Can you tell me more about use a relay?
Is it a kind of setting?

Hmm.. try changing that "sendmail_from" to your email address and try again.

If it does not work, then try sending to other email accounts you have. If they all work and the Yahoo one doesn't, then Yahoo has the server IP blacklisted and you cannot send email to them.

can we send email from localhost server? or should we install apache on a real server first?

[mail function]

SMTP = smtp.genaxis.com.my

The problem has been solved by changing the SMTP = smtp.genaxis.com.my which is my company smtp.

Thank you for give me a view to solved this problem.

I can't send email from my local IP address either. I have a mail server, but many domains block it.

I don't send spam and the relay is closed. But my IP is on a list of dynamic IP addresses, and thus earthlink, yahoo, and aol block my email. Gmail gets through, though.
