[SOLVED] Sent mail to hotmail trough PHP

[Ludo DS]

Dear,

 

I'd like to send a mail to my hotmail adres but it doesn't work. I changed the variable to my gmail account and that works.

 

Are there any headers I can use to solve this problem. Or?

 

Thanks in advance.

 

<?php

 

 

 

$sentto = "koen";

$email = "[email protected]";

 

$subject = "You have mail";

$message = "Hello $sentto,

 

You have mail waiting for you.

 

//This is where the body of my message would be

 

 

Thank you,

K.

 

This is an automated response, please do not reply.";

 

mail($email, $subject, $message,"From: Live.com <[email protected]>\nX-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion());

 

echo "<b>Naam: </b>";

echo " $sentto";

echo "<br>\n";

echo "<b>E-mail: </b>";

echo " $email";

echo "<br>\n";

echo "<br>\n";

echo "<br>\n";

 

 

 

?>

Hi Ludo DS,

 

It's probably ending up in your SPAM folder, have a look at this thread for some useful information though http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=135713.

 

Hope this helps.

Hey!

 

I can't add an mx record because my host doesn't allow this.

 

Checked in the spam folder but saw nothing. Can't this be solved without the SPF record and just by sending know headers?

 

Thanks in advance.

You are putting a @hotmail.com address into the From: address. Hotmail knows that you are not sending the email from a hotmail mail server and is discarding it. You need to put a valid email address host at the sending mail server into the From: address.
