[Resolved] email from form

[k89mmmk]

I'm trying to send an email with an attachment using php. My code works great if i'm sending the email within the sites server, but if i try to send to an outside server (hotmail, for example), the email doesn't seem to get sent - theres no error message, but its never recieved. Any suggestions as to what I could be doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.

I had trouble sending emails with mail()function some peple would get the emails then other would not, I had partialy solved this problem (see my post above) with avoiding mail function. It solved the problem but still for example hotmail would only get 3/10 sometimes 0/10 messages, I have now compleately solved this problem by adding ALL REQIRED headers and changing the sendmail path with envelope matching address ......

ini_set(sendmail_path, "/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -f [e-mail]");

//Contents of an Registration Auto responce email(text format)
$message = "Thanks for registering".$userName;

$headers .= "From: Name<[e-mail]>\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: <[e-mail]>\n";
$headers .= "X-Sender: <[e-mail]>\n";
$headers .= "X-Mailer: PHP4\n"; //mailer
$headers .= "X-Priority: 3\n"; //1 UrgentMessage, 3 Normal
$headers .= "Return-Path: <[e-mail]>\n";
mail($email,"Registration COnfirmation",wordwrap(stripslashes($message)),$headers);
//Uncomment this to send html format
//$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\n";
//$headers .= "cc: [e-mail]\n"; // CC to
//$headers .= "bcc: [e-mail]"; // BCCs to, separete multiple with commas [e-mail], [e-mail]

Thanks a lot. I'll give that a try first thing tomorrow. I'll mark it as resolved for now because that sounds like it could be the solution I'm looking for.
