Thank you, Danny, this is just what I needed.
The mismatch between $SendEmail and $Headers “From” was the cause of endless hours of fruitless testing, trying to get mail to go to a Yahoo address. Note that AOL didn’t care.
I have now forced a match by saying:
‘$SendEmail =”AnEmail@mydomain.co.uk”;
$headers = “From:” . $SendEmail . “\r\n” .’

Hi all,
I see there are recent comments, so here is a solution to the problem:
1. You are using a web hosting service, that includes Linux e-mail service. Just create an e-mail account on your server:
youremail@yourdomain.com

2. in your php mailing script be sure to keep the following:
$MailHeader = “From: Just created this account on WEB \n”;

NB: this solves your problem about sending emails from the localhost. If you want your e-mails not to be handled as SPAM, simply add a next line to the mail header which contains your email as Reply-to.

Best regards,
John S.

Hi,

We are trying to use similar code mentioned above in our php to send mail. We have done appropriate settings as well in php.ini file. mail() function is returning ‘1′ but its not sending any mail neither throwing any error.
For your reference here is the code of php file

ini file

[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP =
smtp_port = 25

; For Win32 only.
sendmail_from = xxx@yyy.com

; For Unix only. You may supply arguments as well (default: “sendmail -t -i”).
sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail

Can you please let me know what is the issue

PJ,

Have you found a solution yet? I have the exact same problem.

I am using the Mail() function and trying to send mail out from my code. For example order confirmation code, online lead etc.

Typically some destinations work. Some don’t. Comcast emails addresses do not work. Yahoo almost always disappears. Gmail is ok.

How to solve this. Adding my from address to the whitelist does not seem to solve the problem. Or will it?

thanks
