Making an educated guess, try these: 1. Send an email from peter.kipkoech@gmail.com to peter@companydomain.co.ke, confirm that that works. 2. Try 1 above with another domain if it does not work 3. Try sending that email as an HTML email with additional headers $headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n"; and $headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n"; See the php manual<http://php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php>for more details On Tue, Nov 10, 2009 at 5:56 PM, Peter Kip <peter.kipkoech@gmail.com> wrote:
Peter,
It actually confirms it as sent, with absolutely no errors. But I guess the problem has eveything to do with the $to values. since when I use, peter.kipkoech@gmail.com as the value, it sends it successfully, I actually receive it. But if the value of the $to is anything to do with POP based mail, i.e peter@companydomain.co.ke...it still confirms it as send, but I don't receive the message in my inbox, even in the spam folders, I don't know whether there's a tweak one has to invoke or something?!

At which point are you getting the errors? At $mailit = mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers); or the mail server later returns a delivery error?

Guys,
I'm experiencing some problem with the mail() function. I have a feedback form I want to incorporate into the site, it is working fine with the commercial mail platforms like Gmail, Yahoo...., but it can't send mail when the values of the $to variable are POP based mail systems.
This is the sample code.
<?php
$yourName = 'Online Commercial '; $yourEmail = 'peter.koech@gmail.com, peter.kipkoech@gmail.com';
$yourSubject = 'Lorem Lipsum'; $referringPage = 'http://www.standardmedia.co.ke';
function cleanPosUrl ($str) { return stripslashes($str); } if ( isset($_POST['sendContactEmail']) ) { $to = $yourEmail; $subject = $yourSubject.': '.$_POST['posRegard']; $message = cleanPosUrl($_POST['posText']); $headers = "From: ".cleanPosUrl($_POST['posName'])." <".$_POST['posEmail'].">\r\n"; $headers .= 'To: '.$yourName.' <'.$yourEmail.'>'."\r\n"; $mailit = mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers); if ( @$mailit ) { header('Location: '.$referringPage.'?success=true'); } else { header('Location: '.$referringPage.'?error=true'); } } ?>
