Due to the following error I contacted hosts and they proposed to change the code to be authenticated.

Reply from them,
The server now requires authentication to send through it. Please use authentication in your code for the e-mail address that you are using for the form to resolve the issue.
Recently we had changed the security settings in the webforms server (webforms.e-insites.com) to control the spamming issues, so please use the authentication in your code to send mail through our webforms server. Pl guide how to resolve this issue. thanks
I have gone though different posts my problem is bit different. As in my case at the time of registration the email to going to the member to complete registration but the email which is send to admin as intimation is giving error. In the admin login I am receiving the above pasted email. Please guide me in this regard. Right now I am using cdonts and cdosys is not working and there is no error but even no email is sent. thanks
your problem is no different to any of the other "mail authentication" problems, a quick search will show you what you need to add to enable mail authentication
When I set cdonts the email is going to external users but unable to deliver my own admin user for intimation. Now I changed the code of cdosys as above but now there is no error but there is no email. thanks
That is cool that you got it sorted out, but I personally wouldn't have posted the actual IP address or the admin email address in a public forum. But then again I am paranoid about spiders finding such things and spamming me to death.

cdonts does not support authentication. If you use it, your username and password will not be sent to the mail server. Its highly unlikely that your host would have allowed an un-authenticated user to send email outside of your domain unless of course they have setup your mail server as an open relay.
Make sure that CDOSYS is selected in your email server config. You could also change
I have tested with the following changes with on error got 0 and getting following error messages. I have not included username and password here while both lines are there. Thanks
