Recipient Not Getting Email

[lkajla]

Hi All,

I have following PHP script and sending an email from my one yahoo id to my other yahoo id but recipient not getting the mail. I have checked spam folder of my other yahoo id and it looks ok. The php.ini also have proper configurations as given below:
smtp=localhost
sendmail_from=my_valid_email_id
sendmail_path=c/php/pear

my php script is:
<?php
$From = "[e-mail]";
$To = "[e-mail]";
$Sub = "Test Drive";
$Msg = "Let's see how it works!!!!";
$Hdr = "From: $From";

$MsgSent = mail($To, $Sub, $Msg, $Hdr);

if ($MsgSent) {
echo "<p>The following message was sent successfully:</p><hr />";
echo "<p><strong>From</strong>: $From</p>";
echo "<p><strong>To</strong>: $To</p>";
echo "<p><strong>Sub</strong>: $Sub</p>";
echo "<p><strong>Msg</strong>: $Msg</p>";
echo "<p>$MsgSent</p>";

}
else
echo "<p>The message was not sent successfully!</p>";

?>

I do not know what I am missing. The value of $MsgSent variable is "1". Is there any one to help me?

step one, does it delivery email to any other address? Test with a couple hosted at other places.

You probably need to add more e-mail headers (examples: Content-Type, MIME-Version, Reply-to, Message-ID {assuming your MTA doesn't automatically add this}) to make it seem like a legit message.

It did not go through, I have added more headers also and now my script looks as given below:

<?php
$From = "xxxxxx <[e-mail]>";
$To = "Live Test <[e-mail]>";
$Sub = "Test Drive";
$Msg = "Let's see how it works!!!!";
$Hdr = "From: $From\n";
$Hdr .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\n" ;
$Hdr .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\n";
$Hdr .= "X-Priority: 1 (Higuest)\n";
$Hdr .= "X-MSMail-Priority: High\n";
$Hdr .= "Importance: High\n";

$MsgSent = mail($To, $Sub, $Msg, $Hdr);

if ($MsgSent) {
echo "<p>The following message was sent successfully:</p><hr />";
echo "<p><strong>From</strong>: $From</p>";
echo "<p><strong>To</strong>: $To</p>";
echo "<p><strong>Sub</strong>: $Sub</p>";
echo "<p><strong>Msg</strong>: $Msg</p>";
echo "<p>$MsgSent</p>";
}
else
echo "<p>The message was not sent successfully!</p>";

?>

EDIT: Woops, mind was playing tricks on me - thought the last quote wasn't escaped.

Try changing the line endings to \r\n instead of just \n? Other than that, I don't know - you'd probably have to see if you're on some sort of RBL or try contacting the email providers that are rejecting your e-mails.

You also might add/verify a valid SPF record for your domain.
