Sendding emails is not working on SMF

My forum has a problem with sending emails : i have configured my mail settings as the following :

Mail Type : smtp SMTP Host : myhost Port : 587 Username & password : a valid email account on my domain

when i click on forget password to test sending emails i got the following message in error log:

Sender address is not valid for your login. Check your email program settings

I am pretty sure that this account is correct, and i tried to add test mail script to my host with the following code :

<?php

$mail = mail("myEmail", "wahahahahahaahahahahaa","I like spamming your inbox!!!", "From: Myself<[email protected]");

if(!$mail){
    echo 'mail is not sent!';
} else {
    echo 'mail is sent :-)';
}

?>

and it prints

mail is sent :-)

What i am missing here ?
