RE: [PHP] Mail and hotmail

I do set the headers now, but still the email is not delivered to Hotmail. This is the headers that I set: X-Sender: webmaster@dwsasia.com From: DWS Asia <webmaster@dwsasia.com> Date: Thu, 04 May 2006 22:04:23 +0700 Subject: What is this? 2 Delivered-to: Markus Karlsson <maka9641@hotmail.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Reply-To: DWS Asia <webmaster@dwsasia.com> Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8 X-Priority: 3 Importance: 3 Return-Path: DWS Asia <webmaster@dwsasia.com> X-Mailer: PHP v4.3.11 With this code: $headers = "X-Sender: ".$this->myFrom." <".$this->myFromEmail.">".$eol; $headers .= "From: ".$this->myFrom." <".$this->myFromEmail.">".$eol; $headers .= "Date: ".date("r").$eol; $headers .= "Subject: ".$this->mySubject.$eol; $headers .= "Delivered-to: ".$this->myTo." <".$this->myToEmail.">".$eol; $headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0".$eol; $headers .= "Reply-To: ".$this->myFrom." <".$this->myFromEmail.">".$eol; $headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8".$eol; $headers .= "X-Priority: 3".$eol; $headers .= "Importance: 3".$eol; $headers .= "Return-Path: ".$this->myFrom." <".$this->myFromEmail.">".$eol; $headers .= "X-Mailer: PHP v".phpversion().$eol; ini_set('sendmail_from', $this->myFromEmail); mail($this->myToEmail, $this->mySubject, $this->myHTML, $headers); ini_restore('sendmail_from'); I tried with and without the ini_set.
