PHP :: Mail Function Sends To Gmail But Not Hotmail.

Mail() Function Sends To Junk Folder On Hotmail
The following mail is sent in a PHP script via the mail() function whenever the user changes their password on our site. the following mail headers were taken from the recipients hotmail account...the mail is delivered to the account but is placed in the 'junk' folder even though it is not a spam email.

The mail works and is placed in the user's inbox in aol/yahoo/outlook express. I understand that this is a common problem with hotmail. How can i get around this problem so that we can send mail and it will be delivered to the users inbox in hotmail? Code:

Obtaining Contacts From Gmail/hotmail/Yahoo Mail
This request may sound illegal, before I begin I would like to assure you it is not. I am looking to do something like MySpace does where you can enter your e-mail username/password and then it imports your contacts and sends invitations to all of them. This is for a client I am working for.

I know how I can do this using curl or fsockopen() and some write requests, but I wondered if theres an easy way (eg: A web service / API) for these types of things. I have done some searching but found no such thing.

Does anyone have any experince doing this or know of any kind of pre-built open-source PHP script that can do this?

Mail Function Sends Backslashes
I have a contact page that uses the mail function, and whenever a message is sent, anything that should be ignored by using the backslash still upholds. For example, an e-mail I would get could say "I didn/'t do it." instead of "I didn't do it.". Is there any way to fix this?

Hotmail, Gmail Etc...
I have a problem with sending mail from the site I am working on. Some users recieve the emails but those who use the major web based services (Hotmail, Yahoo, Gmail, AOL) don't even get mail delivered in their Junk folder - I have tested to check because I didn't quite believe it.

I am sending out a html formatted email with just one image in it...

Can any suggest a reason for this? Is it just my headers? Can anyone point me to some better headers to try and get through top the inbox..

Sending Mail To Hotmail Using The Mail() Function
I have been doing some research into how to send mail to a Hotmail address using the mail() function provided in PHP, in previous posts I may have been wrong in mentioning that you need to add your mail server to the hotmail PostMaster website using Smart Network Data Services (SNDS), after doing some research I have found that in order to send e-mail to a Hotmail address you need to add/ask your host to add an SPF record to your domain.

What is SPF?

Well, SPF is a protocol used to eliminate forged e-mails, much like SSL certificates help eliminate phising websites. Microsoft use the SPF record against the SenderID Framework that they have in place.

How do I go about obtaining an SPF Record?

Easy! use the Microsoft wizard found at:

http://www.microsoft.com/mscorp/safety/content/technologies/senderid/wizard/

to generate a unique SPF record for your domain, then add it to your DNS server, or ask your web host to do this.

I manage my own DNS server, how do I add an SPF record to a domain?

To begin, open the DNS MMC from the Administrative Tools menu of your Windows Server 2003 system. Next, find the domain that will host the SPF DNS lookup record.

Highlight the folder for the domain, and select Other New Records from the Action menu. You can also access this menu by right-clicking the domain folder.

The resource Record Type dialog box will be displayed. From the Select a Resource Record Type area of the screen, scroll down the list and select Text (TXT) from the list.

Click Create Record. This will bring up the New Resource Record dialog box to appear. This is where you paste the SPF record generated by the above website

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I hope this helps, I have tried it myself and e-mails went straight to my inbox (not junk mail). Would also appreciate feedback if this works for other providers such as Yahoo! etc as I have not tried it with them

Give me your feedback on how it works for you, also if it works possibly make this thread sticky as I'm sure it will resolve many problems for people out there who are denying access to people who have public email addresses.

Mail Function And Hotmail.com
I've the following proplem:
When I send an email to Hotmail account it:
1. Goes directory to the Junk Email !
OR
2. Goesn't go at all !

My website is in a dedicated server using: Linux 2.4.21, Apache, PHP,MySQL
and I'm using the following function to send my emails:

==============================
function SendEmail($veFmName, $veFmEmail, $veToName, $veToEmail,
$veSubj, $veBody) {
$varHeader = "MIME-Version: 1.0";
$varHeader .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=windows-1256";
$varHeader .= "X-Priority: 3";
$varHeader .= "X-MSMail-Priority: Normal";
$varHeader .= "From: $veFmName <$veFmEmail>";
$varHeader .= "Return-Path: $veFmEmail";
$veBody = "<html><body>" . $veBody . "</body></html>";
return mail($veToEmail, $veSubj, $veBody, $varHeader, "-f" .
$veFmEmail);
}
==============================

It's been now several months I tried to solve this problem, and I've
played with the header many times, but the problem still there; the
email sometimes doesn't go to hotmail OR goes to junk email!
This is an email sample sent from my site:

Hotmail/gmail Contacts
I'm trying to find how I can get a list of hotmail/gmail contacts using PHP,
like a lot of sites use these days for 'tell a friend'.
Problem is there are no real examples anywhere that I can find..

I *do not* want a script that uses CURL to access a free website that lists
your contacts.. I don't want anything to do with third party websites, I
just want the raw code to access hotmail/gmail myself and get the list.

I thot this would use the webdav/httpmail method, but I heard that hotmail
now charge for this, and I very much doubt that all these sites pay just for
the privellege of accessing a contact list, so there must be an alternative.

Does anyone have any solutions ?

Email Sends With Mail() Function But Arrives Blank
The TextInputForm.html form and WorkMail.php script below work fine. But there is one exception. If the "maxlength" variables for the text input boxes in the HTML form below are increased any more than the current settings the e-mail won't work right. What will happen is the e-mail will send but when it arrives it will be blank when viewed in the e-mail client.

For example, if the "maxlength" in the "AnyConcerns" text input box below is increased to 175 or above, and if all of the text boxes on the HTML form are full of text, the e-mail will arrive blank.

The "echo" statements on the WorkMail.php script below work fine. If the "maxlength" settings on the text boxes are too high (resulting in a blank e-mail) the "echo" statements will still print out all of the input in the browser. That indicates that the $Data string is processing all the way through to the SendMail() function below.

I was thinking that maybe, in order to guard against persons sending spam, the ISP has set the hosting server to limit the amount of text that can be sent in any one e-mail.

Does anyone know what might be the problem? PHP Code:

Mail() Not Getting To Gmail Or Yahoo
The site I'm working on has the need to send out e-mails to its users (account creation, modification, etc). I've just been using the mail() function to do this with no problems... until I tested the functionality with my gmail account. No dice. I did some reading and found that others who were having the gmail problem also could not get emails to yahoo, so I got an account there and tried it... also no dice.

I've been all over the net trying different header tricks, I've checked my server info at dnsreport (found a NS problem but it has been corrected), I can verify the header information looks correct through my pop mail program, I don't get a single error when the script runs... it just... doesn't work.

I have another domain on the exact same box that sends a notification to my gmail account every night via a cron job script that I got over a year and a half ago. That notification works just fine, so I know that it isn't a server setting or something else I don't have control over. I've looked through the code for that script and can't made heads or tails of it to be honest... it does a bunch of crazy header stuff with boundary strings and base64 encoding because its job is to send a backup file.

The real kicker is that my friend who also has a gmail account received a notice from the script about two weeks ago when he tested it for me. I had a relative test it about a week ago and of the 4 or so e-mails they should've gotten from the script, they got 2. They have a Yahoo account.

In my own testing, nothing is getting through. My host did just recently move me to a new box... I guess that might have something to do with it, but it doesn't make sense that it would work for one of my domains and not the other.

Anyway, here's the code I'm using: .....

Sends A Mail Message When A User Registers
how to get around having our website emails being sent straight to yahoo (and probably hotmail) bulk mail folders. My website sends a mail message when a user registers to both the user and ourselves. Similar when a user changes their password/account info. At present, the mail is pretty simple. For example:

mail($email,"Your my_domainname_here account has been updated",$user_message ,"From: my_domainname_here.com");

Ive come across a few other posts with the same problem, does anyone have any updated suggestions? Maybe changing the from header to include an email address? How do message board sites format their email when they send out an email after you change your account info etc?

Mail() Not Reaching Hotmail
I am trying to use the mail() function to send a simple, text-only
message. I have two websites hosted by the same company, on different
servers. One is old and established, one I am currently developing.
I am testing the mail functionality by sending a test message to an
email account associated with my old website, and to my hotmail
account. The message seems to be sent to both accounts, and I receive
the message on my website's email account, but it never reaches my
hotmail account.

Are there any special headers required for hotmail? I've looked
around a bit, and can't seem to figure it out. I've even tried
including several different headers, but always with the same results
- reaches my website's email account, but not my hotmail account. The
code I am using to test is:

<?php

$body = 'Hello from the internet mail tubes!'
$subject = 'Test message'
$address = 'working_address@other_domain.com'
$address2 = 'working_address@hotmail.com'
$headers = "From: working_address@this_domain.com";

mail($address, $subject, $body, $headers) or print "Can not deliver
to $address.";
print "Done with $address.<br>";

mail($address2, $subject, $body, $headers) or print "Can not deliver
to $address2.";

Mail() Function - Using The Mail() Function To Send Emails To Members Of A Website
I am using the mail() function to send emails to members of a website. For some reason when I include words such as "free" or "winner" the mail does not send to any of the addresses - it just seems to disappear in space. I figured this out by trial and error - once I removed those words, it worked. I am running cPanel on the server and have no problem sending emails as long as they don't use those words. It seems to be blocking certain words - ones that I assume spammers would use.

Mail Problem - Warning: Mail() [function.mail]: SMTP Server Response: 550 Invalid Recipient:
Whenever the recipient's email address includes a hyphen ( - ), I get the following error message...

Warning: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 550 Invalid recipient:

I should stress that this only seems to occur when the hyphen is in the URL portion of the address, i.e example@perfect-example.com

The current code works along the lines of...

mail ($_POST['email'], 'Email subject is here', $body, $headers);

Warning: Mail(): Bad Parameters To Mail() Function, Mail Not Sent. In /

Use The Mail() Function: Warning: Mail() [function.mail]:
I am trying to use the mail() function. I've got my php.ini file configured to use my current smtp host (Verizon) and I get this error:

Warning: mail() [function.mail]: Failed to connect to mailserver at "outgoing.verizon.com" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set() in C:www est.php on line 39

So I'm asking two things.
1) How can I make this work with out using Verizon's SMTP server? The server I am using for this website is a Windows XP machine with Apache as the webserver.
2) Once I have an alternative smtp server option, what is it I need to do to set it up properly?

I need an alternative smtp server because this machine is just a development machine at my house, while the file site is in a colo and isn't connect to verizion or anyone else with a smtp server.
