Hi,

On our website, if visitors register they get an email with an activation link. Everything works fine, except when we send it to an @hotmail.com address. Then it ends up in the unwanted email box. I am trying to fix this for two days now, but with no result. I looked at another topic on this forum, but the code suggested there didn't work too. I now know it is important to use the headers and the body of the email carefully.

I know it has nothing to do with the configuration of our server. Does anybody has some working php code for me as stripped down as possible, so I can use that as a base for including in into our activation email.

Thanks!

Welcome to WebmasterWorld, Paul56!

Everything works fine, except when we send it to an @hotmail.com address. Then it ends up in the unwanted email box.

I want to say that your PHP script is not the issue. Do you have a firewall or mail server that is handling requests and blocking anything going to @hotmail.com email addresses? What is the *unwanted* email box you mentioned?

<edit>...and I may stand corrected...best check out the thread mentioned by bcolflesh first...</edit>
