Some mail servers will send out email using a default envelope like
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" (even though the email header reads
"From:[EMAIL PROTECTED]").
The receiving mail server will see this domain as bogus and reject the
email as spam. If this is done at the start of the smtp session, the
recipient will never even see it. Try adding this additional parameter
to your mail function:
mail("[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>", "test", "test",
$headers,'-f [EMAIL PROTECTED]');
The "-f" passes the value to sendmail or postfix to use as the envelope
sender.

I did resort to calling mail() twice. I hated doing it.
Then he called me and said there was no from on the email and the
client isn’t getting the email, which made me think it was a header
issue again.
However, My testing shows there is a from.
I think the email in question has spam filters set too high.

Hello,
I recommend following bzcoder's suggestion of using PHP Mailer, or
simply calling mail() twice:
<?php
$headers = "From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" .
"\r\n";
$headers .= "X-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion() . "\r\n";
mail("[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>", "test", "test",
$headers);
mail("[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>",
"test", "test", $headers);
?>
Cheers,
Patrick

I have a test script already.
Bcc doesn't work on either.
<?php
$headers = "From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" .
"\r\n";
$headers .= "Bcc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" . "\r\n";
$headers .= "X-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion() . "\r\n";
mail("[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>", "test", "test",
$headers);
?>
And
<?php
$headers = "From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" . "\n";
$headers .= "Bcc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" . "\n";
$headers .= "X-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion() . "\n";
mail("[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>", "test", "test",
$headers);
?>

Completely ignored is probably a bad sign, but you could try using just
"\n".
When that doesn't work, try setting just a single "X-sent-by: php"
header to avoid line-ending issues altogether. It may be worth
creating a test script that does nothing but send a simple email so
you can isolate the problem from other potential bugs, post the code
to this list for review, etc.
