rxbanditboy1112 Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 I hear it may be my webhost, but I dont want to think that. I am just using the mail() function. It works completely fine with most people, but every now and then someone has a problem. Anyone else encounter something like this?

per1os Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Because most servers, if not main stream, are flagged as junk mail by most email applications, especially hotmail, yahoo and aol. Heck AOL will not accept some servers email period. The best bet is to use proper headers etc, other than that not much you can do. If there is a certain email address that is causing problems, disallow that domain in your code to be registered. Most forums do not allow aol addresses because of this.

rxbanditboy1112 Posted May 23, 2007 Author Share Posted May 23, 2007 Hmm, I suppose that is the point of getting a dedicated server. Are their any services that will let me send email through their servers or anything? Oh could i use my yahoo smtp to send email from my hosting account that way other than the reply to address, email will look like it is being sent through yahoo?

per1os Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Yea, grant it you have access to the smtp and an account. http://us.php.net/manual/en/ref.mail.php You will probably have to use the www.php.net/ini_set command to set those variables listed there to be what they need to be. Just a note, going to a dedicated server does not gurantee this at all. I am running on a dedicated and I have the same issues as you. It is just how it works.
