It probably means your email server is not setup for open relaying (aka
spam server). Mail servers should require a login in order to send
email through them. The mail() function itself doesn't support names
and passwords, but other php functions do. You might want to look into
phpmailer to handle you email needs.

Alternatively, you could setup your email server to allow open relaying
from the localhost. But that's not really recommended even if you know
exactly what you are doing with the mail server configuration.
