Help! problems with mail() function

[peppino]

i am using the code below:

mail($email, $subject, $message, "From: $emailfrom\nX-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion());

it happens pretty often that people are not getting the emails sent from the script. are there any known issues with using the above code? why do some people not get my emails from the script? they even disable all their spam stuff and it still does not come through.

any help is MUCH appreciated!

\r\n should really be used to separate headers says the rfc. hotmail and many email providers like that tend to discard php generated emails because they often times say they may be forged or send abuse headers.

is there anyway around that? how do you guys send emails via php?

maybe read over this thread: http://www.phpbuilder.com/board/showthread.php?t=10297703&highlight=spam+email+php
or seach the board a bit since this has come up numerous times in the past.
