This is what I use to send email via php. I have sent hundreds at once. $fromname="Cohen, Dotan"; $fromaddress="dotan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx"; $subject ="Subject"; $message="message body"; $from=" dotan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx"; $headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\n"; $headers .= "Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1\n"; $headers .= "X-Priority: 3\n"; $headers .= "X-MSMail-Priority: Normal\n"; $headers .= "X-Mailer: php\n"; $headers .= "From: \"".$fromname."\" <".$fromaddress.">\n"; //return mail($toaddress, $subject, $message, $headers); $toAddress='dotancohen@xxxxxxxxx'; mail($toAddress,$subject,$message,$headers); good luck Scott Duffy -----Original Message----- From: Dotan Cohen [mailto:dotancohen@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, January 11, 2006 2:49 PM To: Sameer N Ingole Cc: php-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Sending mail with php- On 1/10/06, Sameer N Ingole <strike@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Dear Dotan, > Dotan Cohen wrote: > > >On my home Fedora Core 4 box I run Apache 2.0.

I use the script (homemade) to send out the http://lyricslist.com monthly newsletter every month- and only this month am I having problems.
