I've built a web page (that sends emails) for a company and have uploadded it to their servers. The company is also hosting the mail server, which is an exchange server. I get the following error message for some email addresses, but not all addresses.
Warning: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 550 <example@address.com>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\forum\register.php on line 80
The addresses that cause the error all belong to the company. I've asked the company if they could look into the problem , but they say they think there error is being caused by the code/web server and has nothing to do with the mail server. From what I can see from the error message, I'm pretty sure that the mail server is causing the error.
Could someone please tell me if this is, as I think, a mail server error. And if it is, what I can do to solve the problem. Also, what exactly is the local recipient table?
Any help greatly appreciated as I'm not sure what to do next.
User unknown in local recipient table

Re: User unknown in local recipient table
Looks to me that example@address.com isn't a member of the mail servers local address database.
This could mean a few things.
The email address you have is bogus.
Web server isn't configured properly to use mail server
Mail server isn't configured to use pass email out to address.com's server
address.com's mail server isn't configured properly.
Only a bogus email address is your problem the web and mail server is someone else's and the address.com's mail server is yet someone else's problem that you probably couldn't fix.
