mail() format being rejected by linux server

[jonsamwell]

The below code works fine to windows mail server but is being rejected by linux servers because of the mail format (so tech support says)

 

The error returned is that the remote server (mail.zippymail.co.uk) drops the connection because the server does not accept the mail in the format i am sending it in.

 

I don't really have a clue what this means or how to change the format of the email. Tech support have just fobbed me off really.

 

Please help

 

Thanks

 

Jon

on a linux server you want to use \n instead of \r\n for your email headers.

 

You also want to comment out    ini_set('sendmail_from', $senderemail); because it does not get used on linux.

Thanks for you help, this is still not working, but works to every other email i have tried bar my web host internal mail servers??

 

Does anyone think this is less of a problem with the code and some internal error my host has??

maybe the mail server doesn't like the no-reply part ? spam prevention maybe ?
