Tell him to chill out ;)

Warning: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 550 5.7.1 Unable

logosunlimited.com.au probably stopped their server from being an 
open-relay.


You probably won't be able to send to an email address outside of their 
domain name without using smtp authentication.


Check out phpmailer for a really easy way to do it.

Hi,

This is an SMTP error, not a PHP error.  Since you imply the PHP code hasn't 
changed then something else must have changed.

First verify that the to address, [EMAIL PROTECTED] is still good buy sending 
and e-mail to it.

If that checks out OK, than check with the mail server administrator.  He may 
have tightened the SPAM controls by requiring SMTP
clients, like PHP, to authenticate before sending mail that relays.  Or perhaps 
the authentication credentials in place may have
changed.  Also, some mail server will allow relaying based on IP address.  If 
the mail server does that perhaps the IP address of
the web server has changed.  Either way, whatever authentication is used may 
need to be looked at and corrected.

I can't think of anything else that might be the problem.
