[PHP Mail() not recieving by MSN]

I have tried to add the following header, but it still doesn't work. The email still won't send to my hotmail.

 

$headers = 'From: ' . $email . "\r\n" .

'Reply-To: ' . $email . "\r\n" .

'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n".

'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n" .

'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();

 

Can somebody help me out please?

[Stuck on my email form... HELP]

This is useful link to send an email. I have a problem though. The problem so far is I can't send to hotmail's users. Hotmail takes those emails as spam. Their SpamFilter is very strong.

I have been trying to figure out to send emails too, but got no result so far. Take a look at the thread and read it. It is useful.

One thing I learned was to include as much information in Header as you can. This will avoid spam filter that many email providers have.

Yes, I did try sending using valid email address, but it still won't reach my hotmail. It reached my Yahoo email already, but Hotmail still not receiving anything.

 

This is useful link for somebody that has same problem:

Updated!

 

I tried this thread below:

It works now. Now, at least it can send to Yahoo! mail, but it goes to Bulk mail.

 

Still can't get it work for Hotmail.

Hi Oconkero!

 

I actually have the same problem with you and am looking for a solution.

 

Please read this thread by me before:

http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php/topic,131130.0.html

 

I have a script that send an email to myself. When the recipient's email was either hotmail / yahoo, they won't be able to receive the email. I tried to send to another email of mine (not hotmail / yahoo), and it worked like charm.

 

My assumption is either Yahoo and Hotmail has automatic delete on their server to prevent spammer.

 

But, my question is: how can we send an email, let's email verification / password reset, to our clients that are using hotmail / yahoo?

[[SOLVED] Sending Email Feature using SMTP and Server Setting]

Brad was right. If you send it to hotmail / yahoo / gmail, they automatically delete it. Basically, they don't like email from mail server, I think.

 

This being said, we have a new problem. How about if we need to send information to our clients, the clients' emails are stored in MySQL, and (to make it easy) we write a script that will send email to each one of our clients that are listed in our database? If our clients' emails are hotmail, yahoo or gmail, they will not receive our message. This will be a big problem, isn't it?

 

Thanks guys!!!

sn33kyp3t3, yes I did try that and I also tried others codes that were as simple as the one you showed me. But it still doesnt work.

I was also assuming something going wrong with the mail server, and I contacted my hosting server and yes they have SMTP server installed and run properly.

 

What left is what Brad said. I sent to hotmail and yahoo. I should try send it to another email address. Thanks a lot guys! I will post the result here.

 

Thanks!

Hi guyfromfl!

 

I have tried so many times, but the PHP script to email just don't work. I have also tried it in different server in case I missed the PHP.ini setting. All with no result. I have also tried to use different script from somebody else, it don't work. The funny thing is, it doesn't have any error message. It is successfully sent out, but I didn't receive any email that suppose to be in my inbox.

 

Did you use your own server or did you share hosting as well?

 

Thanks!!

[[SOLVED] Sending Email Feature using SMTP and Server Setting]

I haven't tested whether it will work properly or not. If it works properly and I don't need to change PHP.ini, then it's great!

 

However, I believe when dealing with Window hosting, we will need to change the PHP.ini setting. When we host the website in LINUX hosting, I don't think we need to change PHP.ini. I haven't confirmed this yet, it is just my assumption. Do you have any idea?

 

Thanks!

Hi guyfromfl!

 

Thanks a lot for your reply, it has been really helpful for me.

 

I am actually worry about the PHP.ini setting also. I am using shared hosting to host my website. Is this going to be a problem when I need to change PHP.ini?

 

Thanks a lot for your time!

[[SOLVED] New to PHP, got a question about 'sign']

$db =DB::connect($datasource)

if (DB::isError($db)) {

  die($db->getMessage());

}

 

That was the code for connection to database.

There are signs on first line and third line ('::' and '->'), what is that means and what you call that sign?

 

many thanks in advanced!!
