This is because the SMTP server you are using happens to be configured to use the security layer called TLS, so the clients are required to use it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_Layer_Security[^].

This problem applied to PHP and its solution is discussed in many places:
http://www.example-code.com/php/smtp_starttls.asp[^],
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5265692/smtp-server-response-530-5-7-0-must-issue-a-starttls-command-first[^],
http://byitcurious.blogspot.com/2009/04/solving-must-issue-starttls-command.html[^].

You can always find all you need: http://bit.ly/1g5nJUD[^].

One approach is to use different API for sending mail, using the classes found in PEAR:
