Another question on emailing hotmail

Schwalbach

Hey guys,

I know this has been asked before, and I used the example from the one that looked like it actually worked. Take a look at my code:

<?php

$to = $_POST['forgot'];
$dbh=mysql_pconnect ("******", "****", "****") or die ('I cannot connect to the database because: ' . mysql_error());
mysql_select_db ("*****"); //Connect to mysql

$result = @mysql_query("SELECT Username, PASSWORD FROM identify WHERE Email='$to'"); 

 while ( $row = mysql_fetch_array($result) ) {
$user = $row['Username'];
$pass = $row['PASSWORD'];
}
$myname = "chaseschwalbach.com Admin";
$myemail = "admin@chaseschwalbach.com";
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n"; 
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n"; 
$headers .= "From: ".$myname." <".$myemail.">\r\n"; 
$headers .= "To: ".$user." <".$to.">\r\n"; 
$headers .= "Reply-To: ".$myname." <".$myemail.">\r\n"; 
$headers .= "X-Priority: 1\r\n"; 
$headers .= "X-MSMail-Priority: High\r\n"; 
$headers .= "X-Mailer: Just My Server";
$body = " <html><body>
<p>Here are your login details for chaseschwalbach.com. Please remember these for future use. </p>
<p>Login Username: ".$user."</p>
<p>Login Password:".$pass."</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>If you need further assistance you can contact me anytime at [email]admin@chaseschwalbach.com[/email]. </p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Best Wishes,</p>
<p>chaseschwalbach.com admin </p>
</body>
</html> ";
$subject = "Password recovery from chaseschwalbach.com";
$mail=@mail($to, $subject, $body,$headers);
	 if(!$mail){ 
    echo "&forgot = Email not sent! Please try later..."; 
}else{ 
    echo "Mail sent successfully! Thank you";
}
?>

Ok, before anyone says it must be my variables: I set my mysql database username to a different email, and I got that email, it had the $user and $pass correct, and sent to the correct address($to) It even forwards this email to hotmail(because it auto-forwards everything to hotmail) and that was fine. I just cannot send it directly to hotmail.

What am I doing wrong!?!?

Thank you guys so much 🙂

Hey,

Well what is the proper header? I'm not even getting the email at all, but that's prob because I have never set up the junk mail thing and it prob just deletes. Everywhere else can get it fine.

what happens if you change "X-MSMail-Priority: High" to ""X-MSMail-Priority: Normal" ?

Hey guys, I 'almost' have it...

Here is what my email at hotmail gets:

From : <chaseschwalbach.com Admin admin@chaseschwalbach.com>
Sent : Wednesday, January 21, 2004 3:44 PM
To : chaseschwalbach154@hotmail.com
Subject : Password recovery from chaseschwalbach.com

But, this is in the actual body of the message for some reason, like it is getting cut off in the headers

Reply-To: chaseschwalbach.com Admin X-Priority: 1 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Just My Server

And here is my code:

$myname = "chaseschwalbach.com Admin\r\n";
$myemail = "admin@chaseschwalbach.com\r\n";
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n"; 
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 \r\n"; 
$headers .= "From: $myname  <". $myemail ."> \r\n"; 
$headers .= "Reply-To: $myname <". $myemail ."> \r\n"; 
$headers .= "X-Priority: 1\r\n"; 
$headers .= "X-MSMail-Priority: Normal\r\n"; 
$headers .= "X-Mailer: Just My Server\r\n";
$body = " <html><body>
<p>Here are your login details for chaseschwalbach.com. Please remember these for future use. </p>
<p>Login Username: ".$user."</p>
<p>Login Password:".$pass."</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>If you need further assistance you can contact me anytime at [email]admin@chaseschwalbach.com[/email]. </p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Best Wishes,</p>
<p>chaseschwalbach.com admin </p>
</body>
</html> ";
$subject = "Password recovery from chaseschwalbach.com";
$mail=@mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers);
	 if(!$mail){ 
    echo "&forgot = Email not sent! Please try later..."; 
}else{ 
    echo "Mail sent successfully to $to! Thank you";
}

Hey,

Anyone know this, I am sure it is easy?

Hi Schwalbach - could you please post your code ?
I'm trying the same thing and all html messages sent to Hotmail get spammed - unless there is more than one recipient.

I have the enhanced junk filter switched on, and if I send an html email to myself from my office address to hotmail, it goes straight to junk mail. If I address the mail to either multiple recipient, or cc / bcc another person in, it goes to my inbox.

My code is :

$to="me@hotmail.com";
          $content="<html><head><title>Test</title></head><body><H2>Your account has been activated.</h2><BR><BR> Please click the link below to activater your account.\n\n bla bla bla";
          $headers .= "From: \"myaccount\" <officeemail@officeaddress.com>\r\n";
          $headers .= "X-Priority: 1\r\n";
          $headers .= "Return-Path: mailshot@officeaddress,com\r\n";
          $headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
          $headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
          $headers .= "Date: ".date("r")."\r\n";
$headers .= "bcc: [email]mailshot@officeaddress.com[/email]\r\n";

Does anyone know if my headers are wrong - or if it's just Hotmail ?
Thanks
