So no modification to PHP configuration should be necessary. You said "many" emails don't make it to the recipient. So I will assume some of them do. (I also assume by your above post that one of these e-mails reached your Yahoo! account) This leads me to believe that perhaps something is not configured correctly in the DNS for your mail server (i.e. DomainKeys, SPF, reverse DNS, etc.) Another possibility is that your server IP is blacklisted. The first step I recommend you take is to see if sending e-mail from your e-mail client and/or from the command line on the server produces the same result. If so, then you can rule out PHP as the source of the problem. Also, go to www.dnsstuff.com and run some tests on your mail server to see if it detects any problems with your server configuration.
