otuatail Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 You can't do mailing lists with php mail function. it is attempting to send it to the address in your From. I beleive there is a better email app but can't remember the name. Desmond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadTechie Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 are you sending from the same domain the php server is on ? or do you have a Sender Policy Framework (SPF)? if so add an SPF record in your DNS zone file to allow the sending from the php severs IP.
