#22969 [Opn]: sent mail not received by some servers

ID: 22969 User updated by: yellowjacket at email dot com Reported By: yellowjacket at email dot com Status: Open Bug Type: Mail related Operating System: apache PHP Version: 4.3.2RC1 New Comment: Please note that I am receiving an auto reply from you to yellowjacket@email.com which I am sure is being sent with PHP mail(). This would imply that you know what the problem is since your mail is being received and mine is not. If this is not a bug it is a least incomplete documentation of how to use mail() to ensure delivery to all server types. What is the appropriate syntax for mail() to ensure delivery? Thank you.

For a list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking support questions. Thank you for your interest in PHP. . ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-03-30 20:53:34] yellowjacket at email dot com the mail()function is sending mail but some addresses are not receiving it. What is the issue with mail() that causes some servers not to deliver the mail? For example I can not send email to yellowjacket@email.com or to my hotmail account. There is a lot of discussion about this problem on various sites but no solution. I tried adding the return-path as suggested by several sites. Do you have a fix? thanks, Yellowjacket ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=22969&edit=1
