I have a question regarding php and the mail () command. I have no
problem creating a script that will mail to the e-mail address of my
domain name, which of course is linked to my hosting. However, I cannot
e-mail other e-mail addresses, only my e-mails at the domain name.

Can anyone suggest why? Could it be a security issue?

Thanks

What about an error message/log entry to give us a clue, both from the mail
server and the PHP server.

This is the thing - there are no error logs. All that happens if I try
to use an e-mail account that does not end with my domain name is that
the php form appears to be processed correctly and no e-mail is
received. If I do the same thing but use an e-mail that ends with my
domain name, it works fine.

I wonder if your server is using sendmail, and the mailertable is only
allowing mail from and to your local domain.
what happens if you do something like this (assuming you have shell access:
echo "Hello world" |mail ' ' ?? ... would you receive
that?
