[SOLVED] php mail() and hotmail

[freenity]

Hi guys

And again I'm opening one of the greatest mysteries in the world: how make the mail() function work with hotmail.

I already have a function that sends mails with headers and stuff and it works great with gmail, yahoo, etc AND it worked fine with hotmail just about 6 months ago... now it doesn't. The mails doesn't even go to the spam box.

Anyone could solve this??

I can post my code if it will help...

Thanks for any advise.

This is likely a server config issue, nothing to do with php.

 

Usually relating to your servers certificates.

Do you think there is some edit needed in the php.ini ??

You probably need a "SPF" record in your DNS. If you don't know how to add on, ask your hosting company.

hi, thanks for the reply.

I was looking at the phpbb3 send mail class and I managed to extract how it makes the headers. Now it seems to work fine (the mail arrives, but to the spam box, anyway it isnt so important as the emails from phpbb3 arrive into spam box too), the real problem is that the body of the message isn't shown.

Here is the code I use:

 

sendmail('[email protected]','[email protected]','subject','hi how are you?');

function sendmail($to, $from, $subject, $msg)
{
	$headers = array();

	$headers[] = 'From: ' . $from;

	$headers[] = 'Reply-To: ' . $from;
	$headers[] = 'Return-Path: <[email protected]>';
	$headers[] = 'Sender: <[email protected]>';
	$headers[] = 'MIME-Version: 1.0';
	$headers[] = 'Message-ID: <' . md5(time()) . '@hosting.com>';
	$headers[] = 'Date: ' . date('r', time());
	$headers[] = 'Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8';
	$headers[] = 'Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit'; 

	$headers[] = 'X-Priority: 3';
	$headers[] = 'X-MSMail-Priority: Normal';
	$headers[] = 'X-Mailer: FT';
	$headers[] = 'X-MimeOLE: FT';
	$headers[] = 'X-phpBB-Origin: ' . 'http://hosting.com';

	$headers = implode("\n",$headers);

	if (mail($to, $subject, $msg, $headers))
		return TRUE;
	else
		return FALSE;
}

 

Would apreciate if someone code help with an advise.

hosting.com is replaced with my domain..

Thanks.

SOLVED 

That script works just fine. It was a problem with hotmail, that it doesnt show the message body if the email is in the spam box =), Just had to click on 'mark safe' and it showed out.

Thanks for the replies.
