I have set up a mailform on a customers new site.

It works fine coming to me but when I change address to go to the customer they do not arrive.

I am guessing they are being picked up as spam and blocked.

Has anyone else encountered this problem?

Would adding more details to header info prevent this happening?

Any suggestions?

PHP Code:


		
			
mail($to,$subject,stripslashes($body),

"From: $email\r\nContent-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-15\r\n") 

or print("Could not send mail.");

Well I use this in my mail scripts and I've not encountered it being treated as spam - but it's pretty much the same as what you have:

Code:

mail("$to", "$subject","$body","From: $fromEmail\nContent-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1");

I think it is them and over zealous mail filter.

We are in the process of switching their hosting so will have to wait until then and all we will be well.

Thanks.

Mail sent with the php mail filter often gets filtered by junk mail filters. I have found the phpmailer class (google it) works well for preventing that, especially if you set up smtp verification.

Thanks, I will have a look for future ref.
