$sent = mail($email_to, $email_subject, $message, $headers, '[email protected]');
if ($sent)
{

echo 'There has been an error sending your comments. Please try later.';
}

?>

Do you have webmail access for your designtwenty1.com account?

 

If so does the message end up in the spam folder there as well or are there particular rules you have in place in Outlook that are defining the message as spam.

 

There are plenty of things you can do to validate an email but not a whole lot when sending via php on linux.  Just be sure your hostname is valid on the server in that it resolves and you have a proper reverse DNS record.

 

If you were sending via SMTP you could also include domain key validation.
