When I downloaded phpmailer this was how it was configured and if I
wanted to use authenticated then these variables were defined in this file.

Okay...

Unless
A) you are using your ISP's SMTP {authenticated} server to send the mail

OR

B) {you have a registered domain name
         AND
     you have a static IP
           AND
     your Reverse-IP lookup translates to your domain
     name/host (not your ISP's DSL/Cable IP address pool)
    }

then the receiving server **assumes** you are a spammer and either
rejects the email out-right (as best I can tell, AOL does this) or
marks it as JUNK/SPAM etc...

I use ZONEEDIT as a dynamic DNS provider and I have this problem -that
is why my authenticated server points to my ISP's smtp server. But I am
not in the spam/newsletter/mass-mailing business so that is okay.
