mail() email address send-to formatting

[mattisthenation]

Good Morning,

 

I am having a problem with sending an email through my contact form. It is a script that I have used a number of times and never had a problem. The difference this time is that the email address I am using is formatted as follows:

 

"[email protected]"

 

notice the "." and the "-"

 

Would this cause a problem for the mail() function?

 

Thanks for any help

That should not cause a problem at all. Without any code we would not be able to diagnose the actual problem. Suggestion, post the code.

Here is the code:

 

        $send_to = "[email protected]";
        @ini_set('sendmail_from', $sender_email);
$send_status = mail($send_to, $email_subject, $msg, $headers);
@ini_restore('sendmail_from');

 

($email_subject, $msg and $headers are set else where)

 

This works fine if I use an email address like "[email protected]"

What is housed in the $headers?

It was reported as an issue but ruled off as your mail server could be setup wrong to not allow that. I would check with your host and make an inquiry about it.
