Mail problem

Hallo, Greetz from NZ

I have a simple email form for gathering feedback or simply if anyone wishes to make contact through the site.
Now, I made this site for a friend of mine and I am by no means a proffesional in php scripting, heck I am an old dog learning new tricks.
Anyway and this is wierd, If I put my email in the form as the recipient, it works fine and the form data is sent to me as the script should do. But when I change my email to my friends email, the script does not seem to work, or it works but there is a problem somewhere that causes him to not recieve the form data. I can send him an email to that email address using Outlook Express just fine. So the email address is functioning ok.

This one has me stumpt, has anybody come accross this problem before?

Is your email address hosted on the same system as your web page and your friend's email address is hosted somewhere else? If so, the email server is more than happy to accept mail from your script to yourself, but is probably setup to prevent relaying (if neither the FROM or TO address matches an email account hosted on the mail server, it would consider this relaying.)
