Re: sms through teleflip and php?

also consider that there maybe a reverse lookup being done on the sending MTA that the sms gateway doesn't consider kosher .. and/or that the IP of the sending MTA is grey-listed/black-listed. also a check may be being done to see if the sender's account exists on the sender's [your servers] domain. check the relevant logs on your server to see what (if anything) the sms gateway is asking your server. (no idea what/where those logs are hiding out). sorry if this all sounds vague, I'm mostly parroting what others have said in the past - I'm hardly what you would call knowledgable with regard to mail servers and all that jazz. tg-php@gryffyndevelopment.com wrote: > Maybe phpMailer isn't sending the correct headers either.
