Answer 1

You re using a win32 version of php and its smtp-implementation of mail(). It s a tiny little MTA that can t do authentication of any kind. If the smtp server you re trying to relay the email to requires you to authenticate mail() will fail.
Either use (and configure) sendmail for win32. Or a mailer class/library that implements authentication, e.g. SwiftMailer.

btw: Xampp bundles the mercury smtp server. In its default configuration it accepts emails from local php scripts. But then you have to configure mecury to relay the emails to another MTA .

Answer 2

The message SMTP server response: 550 ACCESS DENIED suggests to me that you should check your credentials for that server again. Your username, or password may be incorrect.

Answer 3

You need to install this PEAR Module if you wish to use authentication as it is not provided in the mail function of PHP.

Sending Mail from PHP Using SMTP Authentication - Example

<?php
require_once "Mail.php";

$from = "Sandra Sender <sender@example.com>";
$to = "Ramona Recipient <recipient@example.com>";
$subject = "Hi!";
$body = "Hi,

How are you?";

$host = "mail.example.com";
$username = "smtp_username";
$password = "smtp_password";

$headers = array ( From  => $from,
   To  => $to,
   Subject  => $subject);
$smtp = Mail::factory( smtp ,
  array ( host  => $host,
     auth  => true,
     username  => $username,
     password  => $password));

$mail = $smtp->send($to, $headers, $body);

if (PEAR::isError($mail)) {
  echo("<p>" . $mail->getMessage() . "</p>");
 } else {
  echo("<p>Message successfully sent!</p>");
 }
?>

Answer 4

basicaly if you are on a hosted server then sending an email with php is easy as drinking cold water.

if(mail( to@bla.bla , subject , content here i include sometime var_export($var,1) ))
 echo  email send succefull ;
else
  echo  emaiol coudnt be send ;

if you send this from your localmachine this will mostly fail because most server refuse requests like this. Then you have to use an external library for sending your email from a service like gmail.

Answer 5

As VolkerK pointed - use Swiftmail, its selfcontained, no need for a SMTP server. I used two days with Mercury + xampp, couldnt make it work.

First example in this link works right away:
