PHP Mail Headers are the suck!

[DarkNSF]

so far this seems to send to my catch-all account, but it blocks it EVERYWHERE else (yahoo, gmail); it doesn't even put it in the spam folder. I've tried 30x combinations and I can't seem to get the header information correct.. It's driving me insane!

 

 

Can anyone shed some light on the problem?

  // send mail function
  function core_mail($toaddress, $toname, $fromaddress, $fromname, $emailsubject, $msg)
  {
    $headers = "To: ".$toname." <".$toaddress.">\r\n";
    $headers = "From: ".$fromname." <".$fromaddress.">\r\n";
    $headers .= "Reply-To: ".$fromname." <".$fromaddress.">\r\n";
    $headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
    $headers .= "Content-type: text/html;charset=ISO-8859-9\r\n";
  /*
    $headers  = "";
    $headers .= "X-Sender:  ".$fromname." <".$fromaddress.">\n";
    $headers .= "From: ".$fromname." <".$fromaddress.">\n";
    $headers .= "Reply-To: ".$fromname." <".$fromaddress.">\n";
    $headers .= "Date: ".date("r")."thom@".$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].">\n";
    $headers .= "Message-ID: ".date("YmdHis")."";
    $headers .= "X-Mailer: PHP v".phpversion()." on ".$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']."\n";
    $headers .= "Return-Path: ".$fromname." <".$fromaddress.">\n";

    */

    mail($toaddress, $emailsubject, $msg, $headers);
  }

    $headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0" ."\r\n";

    $headers .= "Content-type: text/html;charset=ISO-8859-9" ."\r\n";

 

    $headers .= "To: $toname <$toaddress>" ."\r\n";

    $headers .= "From: $fromname <$fromaddress>" ."\r\n";

 

 

2 things, you are missing a . with one of your = signs and your mail page definitions should go at the top (content type etc..) You don't really need a reply-to either, you have a From header.

thanks, that first error didn't affect anything because to is set in the mail(), however, it should still be fixed.

 

Still not getting mail to yahoo..

  function core_mail($toaddress, $toname, $fromaddress, $fromname, $emailsubject, $msg)

    $headers .= "To: ".$toname." <".$toaddress.">\r\n";
    $headers .= "From: ".$fromname." <".$fromaddress.">\r\n";
  /*

    mail('', $emailsubject, $msg, $headers);

  }

You should take a look at this thread, especially towards the end.

thanks Ken,

 

this hasn't fixed my problem.

 

 

but i've also been looking into this: http://phpmailer.sourceforge.net

and i like it...

 

 

I can send message to the local email account, but anywhere else they don't even appear in spam or anything... I think it's an issue with my ISP. Has anyone else had an issue similar?

[DarkNSF]

anyone else?  ???
