I'm trying to send myself an email when a trigger fires. PH says that the email was sent and outlook tries to send it but gets a returned administrator email. I'm using the following command:
ph_sendemail("email address", "The Garage Door Has Been Opened", "The garage door has been opened at home")
I'm getting the following error in outlook:
Your message did not reach some or all of the intended recipients.
Subject: &nbs p; The Garage Door Has Been Opened
Sent: & nbsp;& nbsp; 6/5/2009 4:33 PM
The following recipient(s) could not be reached:
'email address' on 6/5/2009 4:33 PM
None of your e-mail accounts could send to this recipient.
I've tried multiple addresses. Outlook sends fine to this address on its own. Any ideas?
**EDIT -- Problem Solved. The issue was Outlook. I installed a different MAPI client and all works fine.

Try to use the SMTP version:
ph_sendsmtpemail("smtp.domain.com",25,"address_from@domain.c om,account,password,address_to@whateverdomain.com,"subject line","email body")
The SMTP version works great and you don't need Outlook to run to send emails.

I agree with Vero, use the ph-sendsmtpemail function it works so nice. I am going to drive my kids nuts with it by sending them reminders of Birthdays and such. The deeper you dig the better PH gets.

one possibility is that your smtp provider validates you via receive-then-send. I.e., no username/password is required during send, but you must have done a POP (w/username/password) within the last N minutes for the send to be allowed.
