Sending HTML Email With Mail();
i have set up this script from other scripts but sometime it does not send any email and other times it does
with this im not shure why,i have edited other mail scripts and finaly come up with this which when it works works well.
there are two identicle mail functions there the first sends a email to the user saying thanks for registering the second sends a email to 4 admins telling them about the new user.
can you pick out why it,s not working?

Sending Mail: Choice Between Sending Receipt, Or HTML Formatting
I'm using PHP's mail function to send out a message via email. I would like for this email message to send a receipt when read as well as send an HTML formatted email. Both aspects are important to me. I know this is a product of the mail header. This is the format I currently have: mail(to, subject, body, "From: name <email> Disposition-Notification-To: name<email> Content-type:text/html;charset=utf-8"); This prompts the email program to send a reciept, but the email message is not in the HTML format, and even contains "Content-type:text/html;charset=utf-8" at the top of the body. If I switch the order to this format: mail(to, subject, body, "From: name <email> Content-type:text/html;charset=utf-8 Disposition-Notification-To: name<email>"); This sends the email with HTML formatting but does not prompt the sending of the receipt. I also get "Disposition-Notification-To: name<email>" at the top of the email message. This tells me there is a problem in the transition between the headers, which currently is "". What am I doing wrong?

Sending HTML Mail To Outlook Express With Mail()
I'm sending out an HTML mailer using the mail() function in PHP. I'm appending all of the headers to the message. This message displays correctly in Hotmail, Outlook 2000, and even Mac's OSX mail client. But, for some reason, Outlook Expess (on Win XP & OSX) displays the HTML code and doesn't render it. If, however, the recipient copies the HTML code and composes a new HTML message in Outlook Express, it gets sent correctly. This particular user is also getting other HTML mailers that display correctly, so I know that the client is capable of accepting HTML mail. I'm led to believe that PHP's mail() headers are not being interpreted correctly. In fact, they appear as the first 3 lines in the body of the message when viewed in Outlook Express. OK, here are some samples to tie this all together: First, the mail() code I'm using: PHP Code:

Please process as soon as possible"; $message .= ""; $message .= "--MIME_BOUNDRY"; $message .= "Content-Type: application/pdf; name="brilliant.pdf""; $message .= "Content-disposition: attachment"; $message .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64"; $message .= ""; $message .= "$str"; $message .= ""; //message ends $message .= "--MIME_BOUNDRY--"; mail($to, $subj, $message, $headers); It works great except the $to user gets two copies of the email. I've tried changing email addresses with no success.

Preparing An EMail And Sending It To A Mail Program
I am attempting to create an eMail but rather than send it I need to open it in the local eMail program (e.g. Outlook Express, Eudora, etc.). I am basically trying to do an extended version of an HTML mailto: tag. The idea is to have a button that will open up a new eMail message in the local eMail program with everything defined (cc, subject, and message) except for the recipient. The recipient information needs to be pulled from the local eMail program's address book. I have pretty much got it done except all of my spaces are plus signs (+) even after I have already urlencoded the information.

Mail() / Sendmail Sending Mail As Spam
Wondering if anybody knows why when sending mail through my local sendmail program using the PHP mail() function; emails either do not reach the destination, or register as spam? Prime example is: h0tm@il addresses never receive the email, gmail addresses consider the email to be spam, and my workplace receive the email about 1 hour after the program finishes. Could it be a problem with my ISP? I am using Fedora Core 6, PHP 5 and Apache 2. Or test it yourself.. just fill out the form with some rubbish and it should send an email saying you've registered.. maybe you can figure out where I am going wrong by looking at the headers? http://aaronweb.no-ip.com:6969/?p=2

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 Doesn't Seem To Be Sending MAIL FROM: Properly
I'm trying to send an email using the mail() function. I've carefully made use of the ini_set(SMTP, "mail.my.server") function to set my SMTP server and also to set my From: address. I'm still getting a "Relaying not explicitly allowed: fakeemail@fakedomain.com" response from the server however, when I try and set a recipient who is outside of my own domain. This makes my think that the From: address is somehow not getting sent to my server properly or that I'm pointing at the wrong server. The confounding thing is that it was working for a while and I don't think I changed anything and it just stopped. I'm running these PHP pages for a client off of one of those cheap hosting services, I think it's called 1dollarhost.com or something, although I can't remember at the moment. Has anyone else had trouble with this or found a solution?
