Brain buster... Why won't my PHP contact form work on a Yahoo server?

[thinktec]

Here's the situation...

 

This PHP form I'm using on this page is not working (it's on a Yahoo server)...

 

http://www.turnofthedecade.com/rsvp.php

 

When I put that same form on my personal server (which is hosted with gate.com) it works just fine and I receive the confirmation email and everything.

 

Can anyone tell me what's going on here? I read in Yahoo's documentation that they require all outgoing emails with PHP to be sent from an email address within your domain BUT I already have that setup.

 

I'm stumped...

I never thought that having Yahoo! hosting would ever be beneficial... but I guess it can come in handy now. haha.

 

Anyway, try setting a reply-to address.

This is the code for my contact-form.php file which processes the form...

 

<div class="contact_form">

$contact_form_msg_sent     = 'Thank you for the RSVP.';
$contact_form_msg_not_sent = 'Message not sent. Please try again.';
$contact_form_msg_invalid  = 'Please, correct the fields marked in red';
