Dear Lazy Web: How do I Send Emails from Non-Resolvable Servers?

I’m trying to use php’s mail command to send emails to myself.

Unfortunately, the logs bring this up:

553 5.1.8 …

Domain of sender address jbarcelona@sovrainshrine does not exist

(at 16 Mar 2007 22:31:09(GMT))

IP:207.106.84.164

Which makes sense b/c I’m behind a firewall and the server I’m using is only resolvable from behind my firewall.

So what information do I need to put in the header to make this work?

Yes, I’ve read www.php.net/mail but the examples just don’t work.

UPDATE: 3/21/2007

I just downloaded PHP Mailer, and it’s been working like a charm.
