#22991 [Opn]: PHP mail not being received by hotmail

Some servers will reject an email if the FROM field is not included. For that reason, the headers have to be manually concatenated with line feeds. Knowledge of mail headers is necessary. Alternately, you can use a pre-written script that you might find on the web.
