There are many problems that can produce a 500 server error!

Sorry I have just seen your errors!

THIS IS WRONG SYNTAX!

$transport = new Zend_Mail_Transport_Sendmail();
Zend_Loader::loadClass('Zend_Mail');
$mail = new Zend_Mail();
$mail->setFrom('someone@gmail.com', 'Name');
$mail->addTo('someother@gmail.com','Aaaaaa');
$mail->setSubject('Testing ');
$mail->setBodyText('Welcome');
$mail->send($transport);

THIS IS CORRECT!

$transport = new Zend_Mail_Transport_Sendmail('no-reply@mydomain.com');

//you need to set the transport adapter via abstract method!
Zend_Mail::setDefaultTransport($transport);

$mail = new Zend_Mail();
$mail->setFrom('someone@gmail.com', 'Name');
$mail->addTo('someother@gmail.com','Aaaaaa');
$mail->setSubject('Testing ');
$mail->setBodyText('Welcome');
$mail->send(); //no parameters here!
