We just migrated our PHP 5.2 / IIS 8 site to a new server.

We cannot use the MAIL function.

500 is a constant smtp error, so there is a problem with the configuration of the mail server or message recipient.

If you connect to the server on port 25 and run the following commands:

 helo localhost mail from:<your.email.address> rcpt to:<recipient.email.address> data ctrl c

What's happening?

By default, PHP uses sendmail, you need to configure your PHP parameter to use the SMTP server in windows.
