That means that the mail server requires you to authenticate to allow
you to relay the message to the remote recipient.

The mail() function does not support authentication.

You may want to try this class instead that comes with a function named
smtp_mail(). It is compatible with mail() but lets you send messages
through an SMTP server of your choice, with support to let you specify
the user name and password to authenticate:

You also need this:
