PHP mail sending form not arriving in "all" mailboxes. SMTP problem ?

[Duofilm]

As my titel indicates, I have a problem with a piece of code I wrote some time ago.

Everything in my mail form is fine and the mails do get send. But they don't always arrive (checked spam folder).

Hotmail or example arrives but a normal email adres from a provider does not.

Could this have something to do with SMTP ? could I add this to my code ?

I tryed some but so far it does not work, In the code below you can see my working code as it is & the tests I tryed and didn't work out that well.

 

 

<?php $fromemail="No-Reply <ikwerkthuis.be>"; // change here if you want
$toemail=$naarwie;   // change here if you want
$sub="Online info aanvraag";          // change here if you want
$success_page_name="bedankt.html";
////// do not change in following
if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']=="POST")
{
$fieldnm_1=str_replace ( array("\n"), array("<br>"),trim($_REQUEST['fieldnm_1']));  
$fieldnm_2=str_replace ( array("\n"), array("<br>"),trim($_REQUEST['fieldnm_2']));  
$fieldnm_3=str_replace ( array("\n"), array("<br>"),trim($_REQUEST['fieldnm_3']));  
$fieldnm_4=str_replace ( array("\n"), array("<br>"),trim($_REQUEST['fieldnm_4']));  
$fieldnm_5=str_replace ( array("\n"), array("<br>"),trim($_REQUEST['fieldnm_5']));  
$fieldnm_6=str_replace ( array("\n"), array("<br>"),trim($_REQUEST['fieldnm_6']));  
$fieldnm_7=str_replace ( array("\n"), array("<br>"),trim($_REQUEST['fieldnm_7'])); 


$contentmsg=stripslashes('<br><b><font style=color:#CC3300>'. $sub .'</font></b><br>

I hope someone can help me out.

Thanks in advance !

you can't just drop smtp details into the mail script, you need to set them in your ini files and even then that will only work on Linux servers.  Your issue is most likely that you are not building full headers.  A lot of ISP's will just dump mail without even thinking if the headers are malformed or incomplete, it won't flag the message as spam, it will just delete it from the server and that's the end of it.

 

If it was an smtp issue you wouldn't be getting any of the mails out (trust me).  SMTP is the outbound part of the process, not the inbound part. 

 

Look up how to build headers that are complete and accurate, this should fix your issue.

[Duofilm]

I looked it up made some minor changes... Since there wasn't much to change according to what I found on the internet.

 

<?php $fromemail="No-Reply <ikwerkthuis.be>"; // change here if you want
$toemail=$naarwie;   // change here if you want
$sub="Online info aanvraag";          // change here if you want
$contentmsg="blabla"
$success_page_name="bedankt.html";

$headers  = "From:".$fromemail."";
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1";			

@mail($toemail,$sub,$contentmsg,$headers); ?>

 

Its still doesn't send to all emails some work some don't.. any other ideas ? or anything wrong with my headers here ?

[Muddy_Funster]

$fromemail="No-Reply <ikwerkthuis.be>"

This isn't a valid email address, so can be deamed as malformed.  the email address doesn not need to resolve, just make sure it's in the format of an actual mail address and has a valid domain.

[Duofilm]

I changed the From to a valid email adres that is in use even.

It doesn't change anything

[Muddy_Funster]

can you post up the headers from one of the accounts that is recieving the message?

[Duofilm]

I'm not sure I understand what you mean ? You mean to post the email ? that ppl are recieving ? completly ?
