RE: Mail function and hotmail

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I decided to change the call to send to:

$mail =& Mail::factory("smtp", array("host" => "localhost"));
return $mail->send($params["email"], $headers, $body);

and now hotmail wokrs.  Maybe qmail changes something when the mail() function is used.

Thank you for all your help.

Fernando.

> However, hotmail is still getting blank emails when I sent them from my production machine (CentOS 5.3), however, when I send the message from my development machine (Visata Ultimate SP1) it does work correctly on hotmail address .  Both machines are running php 5.2 and have the same PEAR packages.  I tried Gmail, Yahoo mail and Thunderbird and they work fine.
