Sounds like they have relay disabled on their SMTP server and the IP that
your PHP is running on is not on an included network address. As them to
verify that your ip address is ok.
The mail server will accept locally destined mail but anything else is seen
as a relay attempt (Spam) and blocked. In most cases ISPs and admins reject
with complaint (which would help considerably in your case), in others they
reject transparently by routing to /dev/null.
