Best way to debug mailing issues is to view the mail log and see if there are any clues as to what went wrong. On Debian, it is at /var/log/mail.log Very often mail problems have to do with anti-spam controls in receiving systems. Most big email companies will only accept mail from servers with a reverse-DNS record that maps the IP address to a real name. Also, you may be running up against SPF records created by outlook.com that prevent forging mail from that address. One thing I notice in your script is a missing space after the colon in "From:". _______________________________________________ New York PHP User Group Community Talk Mailing List http://lists.nyphp.org/mailman/listinfo/talk http://www.nyphp.org/show-participation
