RE: [PHP] mail() function problem

Most mailing lists reject mail if the Subject is blank. That would probably explain why your subjectless 2nd example is disappearing into the void.

Sembiring; php-general@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP] mail() function problem I think mailing list managers like Yahoo, ezmlm, etc all have "features" in them to suspect bots and programs from subscribing/posting to the groups. I know I've had trouble subscribing/posting to groups managed by ezmlm... Probably there is a header or two that PHP automatically sets which makes the mailing lists suspicious... or something!! I don't know enough about email to really come up with an answer!!! You could try setting some headers similar to what your email client sets, to see if it's something "missing"... or try sending yourself an email from a php script and analysing the headers it sets. It could also be the lack of a return address or something similar that throws the lists off too. Justin on 31/08/02 6:32 PM, Akhmad D.
