1 out of 3 e-mails don't arrive.

problem with script?

[cameraguy]

Hello,

I send e-mails with the following script. It works, but approx. 1 out of 3 e-mails are not received. I checked and apparently I am not black-listed. Could there be a problem with my script (headers)?

$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\n";
$headers .= "From: MySITE <[e-mail]>\n";
$to = "$user_email";
$subject1 = "subject";
$message1="<FONT SIZE=-1 face=verdana><p>
<a href='http://www.mysite.net'>
Visit MySITE</p></font>";
mail($to, $subject1, $message1, $headers);

Thank you for your help!

Roberto

Are you on a shared hosting server? Has your hosting company imposed any restrictions with the PHP mail() function. Some servers only allow mail to be send to the addresses from the same domain (like mine does) to eliminate server abuse.

I am on a dedicated server and I send some 80 e-mails worldwide per day.

have you checked your mail queue to see if they were actually sent?

Huh... I do not know where to look for that.

And BTW, I am not getting any messages from servers saying that the addresses to which I sent the e-mail do not exist. But I am not surprised because when I send an e-mail manually, they do receive it.
