Hi,

I have a php mailing list script written by someone i can't remember - but its a good script so thanks! The problem is that when I send mail out it does not reach aol or lycos users. Is this because they see this as spamming? I changed the from bit to a valid email address but it still doesnt work. Does the mail function need any extra parameters to show its not spam if that is the problem. Oh, and if i send email using the same email address everything is fine. Please help!

You're probably already on their spam lists, and would need to send from another IP address/return address.

It was happened to me before, i think that the mattscripts form mail, you will have to update the scripts, the new one has line
@referrer " your domain, your IP"
that line will make sending mail possible from the parameter you enter, in this case "your domain nad/or your IP"

if you still use the old scripts, anyone can post their form thru your scripts yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/formmail.php thats where the bug is.

Thanks barronbali,
I tried that before but I guess its too late!. Does anyone know of a solution other than using a different domain name?
