PHP TO EXCHANGE SERVER RELAY- SMTP server response: 550 5.7.1

I'm trying to use SMTP on Exchange server (SBS) within a network (XP SP2 machine) to send email (from a PHP/apache setup locally) but keep getting relay errors. I tried telnet from the machine and that works fine.

I have granted relay permissions to the machine on exchange server. SMTP service running on XP machine.

I even tried sending mail without @x.local in the address, seems like the mail was sent but it never arrives!!
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

PHP Script:
<?
$to = "email1@x.local";
$from = "email2@x.local";
$sub = "My Email";
$msg = "Hello World!";
mail($to, $sub, $msg, "From: ".$from);
?>

Error:
Warning: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 550 5.7.1 Unable to relay for
email2@x.local in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\mail2.php on line 6

php.ini settings:
PHP.ini settings
[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = 10.0.0.250
smtp_port = 25

; For Win32 only.
sendmail_from = email2@x.local

Can you please post an IPCONFIG /ALL from your server as well as the xp workstation?

Is your DOMAIN NAME really just x.local? I thought you were using that as an abbreviation. If it is, really x.local, then it won't resolve over DNS, which requires at least two characters in the domain name. (Active Directory doesn't mind, it's DNS that does).

No, that is not my Domain name! I don't want to put my domain up but it is more than two characters.

Sorted.

Not too techie and it took me sometime to realise that SMTP on the local machine needs to be opened for relay! I was opening relay on the server!

Thanks anyway.
