RE: [PHP] Problems sending mail to aol with the mail() function

I cannot help you, but I KNOW you are not the only one, I've been asked this question already, and, I think I've seen something on php.net under mail() ... I believe this is your XSender thing, but not sure ...

Turing testing I not noticed that aol users were not receiving the messages. AOL seems to be filtering them out without sending a bounce or anything. We tried it with multiple aol users, and nothing I tried when using the mail function got through, but messages sent from the server with pine and the php mail package SquirrelMail do get through. The messages are received on every other mail system I have tried. I know this is more of a mail question, but I was hoping somebody here and encountered this before and knew of a workaround. I noticed that SquirrelMail doesn't use the mail function, they chose to write their own SMPT package. I wonder why? Anyway, my test scripts look like this: <?php mail("steve@exit1mile.com", "Test 1", "This is a test", "From: Steve@Exit1Mile.com\nReply-To: Steve@Exit1Mile.com\nX-Mailer: My test mail program\nX-Sender: Steve@Exit1Mile.com\nContent-Type: text/plain; charset=\"us-ascii\""); echo "Mail sent!"; ?> I tried playing around with different headers and nothing made any difference. I sent them to myself and they sure look like valid email messages to me. Does anybody else have this problem? What did you do about it?
