New server not sending php mail correctly

gotornot

Heres a tough one.

I have moved servers and on the old server mail that im sending usinh the mail() function is working correctly.
However on the new server it is not!!!

Is this just a php file tweak somewhere or can i use a piece of code in the maill class script that will loop around this problem.

A snippet of the code is:
--PHP-alt-<?php echo $random_hash; ?>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

<?php echo $messageouttext ; ?>

--PHP-alt-<?php echo $random_hash; ?>
Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

<?php echo $messageouthtml ; ?>

--PHP-alt-<?php echo $random_hash; ?>--

Any help people????

Do you own/manage the server yourself or is this a shared hosting solution? If it's the latter of the two, you should contact your host to see how you should go about sending mail via PHP - some hosts might have certain requirements/configuration parameters you need to know about.

hi this is a dedicated server through 123-reg it does send the email but not the html version it just outputs all the heders. as a temp fix i have changed the script to only send the baic text one but i would like to fix it if possible.

This is useful information that you probably should have shared in your first post. 😉

Can you show us all of the code that builds the e-mail message (including both the headers and the body)?

The script is fine as i was just moving it from one server to the other and all was well on the old server and the new server just doesnt work correctly just wondered if there was some thing i should look for

One thing to look for is the line endings you used (if any) in the headers section. Some MTA's look for a Unix line break (\n) while some expect a Windows line break (\r\n).

the system is a ubuntu linux server and the one before was a linux apache
