PHP Form Mail Not Working With AOL

I operate several web sites and on 2 of them I am using different PHP files for online forms.

The one on my fire department page worked just fine when I established it at <removed> but now none of the PHP files I have on my web sites are working to allow the data to be emailed to me.

I think I narrowed this problem down to AOL. On eo fthe forms goes to 2 people (INcluding myself) The other person said he was not receiving emails either to his AOL address when the form was filled out.

Luckily he has an additional email address (Not on AOL) I tried plugging that address in and he is receiving mail just fine.

I emailed AOL and just got the same ol garbage - we are doing "everything possible to eliminate spam" but this is causing no form mail emails to come through in AOL.

Anyone have an idea?

it's possible that AOL backlisted your server and any email send from your server's IP address get banned.

Do you receive any mailer-daemon messages for the unsuccessfully sent emails?

that was great :) not seen a flaming gif for such a long time ... and the irony .. well just perfect...

not sure what is going on with your script, if anything, AOL are such the spawn of the devil .. and may well be blocking you as spam ...

Welcome to WebmasterWorld captainron19,

maybe try this thread, it links to a page describing things to do for AOL

No I am not receiving any error messages at all. As a matter of fact - I have an email address off of one of these website set to forward all mail to my AOL account and none of the mail is coming through in that fashion either.

you shouldn't be seeing any errors as your emails are likely getting burned by AOL

take a look at the thread I posted and the links in that thread and go from there
