Sending mail to local mail server - "SENT: 550 The address is not valid."
I am trying to send mail to my local mail server. I am using hMailServer as mail server and I have configured it as mentioned here:
Setting up local Mail (SMTP, POP3, IMAP) Server on XAMPP
But when I try to send mail I am getting this error:
( ! ) Warning: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 550 The address is not valid. in C:\wamp\www\kariyersitem\register.php on line 161
Log files of the mail server indicates this error as below:
"DEBUG" 3108 "2012-01-08 18:04:24.447" "Creating session 14"
"SMTPD" 3108 14 "2012-01-08 18:04:24.448" "127.0.0.1" "SENT: 220 localhost ESMTP"

I have checked address and I am sure it is correct.
Can anyone tell me what is the problem?
Here my mail code:
$to = $frm_kadi;
$subject = $site_title.' Üyelik Aktivasyonu';
$message = 'hello';
$headers = 'From: '.$contact."\r\n".'Reply-To: '.$contact."\r\n".'X-Mailer: PHP/'.phpversion();
$mresult = mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
I have checked $contact and It is written as [email protected] in my config.php file. Before sending mail I have use echo function to debug my code and it is correct.
Currently my $contact variable is set to:
$contact = "[email protected]";
UPDATE 1
Setting sendmail_from to [email protected] in php.ini as @Jared Farrish suggested solved the first problem. But now I have a new problem:

It seems like it does not get destination address completely. I am trying to send mail to myself but it gets only username olcayertas and missing domain @gmail.com.
UPDATE 2
I have solved the second problem. It was my mistake.
UPDATE 3
Now I am getting this error:
"SENT: 530 SMTP authentication is required."
But I have already filled SMTP authentication settings under Settings->Ptotocols->SMTP->Delivery of e-mail->SMTP Relayer. Server requires authentication and Use SSL otions checked.
UPDATE 4
Disabling Require SMPTP authentication options of hMailServer in Settings->Advanced->IP Ranges->My Compter solved SMTP authentication problem.
Answer
To solve SENT: 550550 The address is not valid. problem, you have to set sendmail_from to a valid mail address in php.ini file.
To solve SENT: 530 SMTP authentication is required problem, open hMailServer Administrator. Go to Settings->Advanced->IP Ranges->My Compter. Disable all options under "Require SMTP authentication" section.
