Re: Mail and hotmail

Hi Peter, RFC 2156 (http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2156.html) defines the importance header as following:

importance      = "low" / "normal" / "high"

Which means that you can either use the values low, normal or high HTH, Christian

The only one I do not know what to set it to is "Importance". What values are possible there? Is it the same as for X-priority?

Best group member, I am sending email to a hotmail thru PHP. When I send it like this it arrives (in the junk mail, but it arrives): mail('theaddress@hotmail.com', 'A nice subject', 'Some text'); It works well, but I want to change the FROM header so I do this: mail('theaddress@hotmail.com', 'A nice subject', 'Some text', 'From: Peter Lauri <peter@lauri.se>'); This email does not arrive to the Hotmail inbox. If I send to a regular email, like Google Email (gmail) or a regular POP3

it

arrives without problems. Anyone who has experienced this problem with sending emails to Hotmail?

And

how do you solve it? Best regards, Peter Lauri

you need to set your mail headers for the mail to be assumed valid, namely: X-Sender From Date Subject Delivered-to MIME-Version Reply-To Content-type X-Priority Importance Return-Path X-Mailer HTH Angelo
