Hi!

This is my first post on this Forum and I apologize if I am posting this query in the wrong section.

I had a shared hosting account with Godaddy earlier. I have script in my code which sends automatic emails to users when they sign up on the website. All these emails were going in a proper format earlier. When i changed to Virtual Dedicated Server on Godaddy, emails which are automatically being shot to yahoo, hotmail or any other accounts are going properly.

Only to GMAIL accounts, the email which arrives comes from an Unknown Sender. It is shows the whole html format of the email as well. Kindly see the example below.

I contacted Email Support earlier. They told me to

In Linux, Plesk uses qmail as the default mail server. The configuration file /var/qmail/control/smtproutes needs to have the line ":k2smtpout.secureserver.net" in it so that it will work properly (the colon is necessary). This is likely preconfigured on your system already.

We have checked this.

Kindly help as most of the users on the website have gmail accounts. All emails shot to them are unproperly formatted.

Will really appreciate your response.
