Your first problem is that you're attempting to specify realname in the
$to parameter of mail().

Don't do that.

The first parameter of mail() should be an email address and ONLY an
email address.

That much aside everything you have (From/Return-Path/etc..) should be
enough, however, your mail server may be setup to not trust those
headers from the user. Look for a setting of 'trusted-users' or
similar in your mail server configuration and make sure your webserver
user is listed in there.

All that said, any further comments on this 'bug' should be discussed
on [email]general@lists.php.net[/email] as this is not a bug, but rather a scripting
problem.

P.S. - 'Output Control' is not the correct category for this report
either. This should have been submitted under 'Mail Related'. I'm
changing that now so that our stats are keep consistent.

I found this information on the marcromedia site. Using the FROM
doesn't solve the problem. What else is needed?

If you've ever sent an e-mail from PHP, you know what is required.
First, the mail server must be set up correctly on the PHP server.
Next, you have to know a little bit about what is required in your mail
headers. The PHP mail() function only takes four parameters—to,
subject, message, and header—but in many cases certain headers have to
be set or the mail will not go through. Some servers will reject an
email if the FROM field is not included. For that reason, the headers
have to be manually concatenated with line feeds. Knowledge of mail
headers is necessary. Alternately, you can use a pre-written script
that you might find on the web. The same simple e-mail sent from PHP
might look like this:

PHP mail() will not send to hotmail? how come?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ive tried several hotmail addresses and ive tried several normal ISP
addresses and nothing send to hotmail addresses but all messages goto
normal addresses, does anyone know how to solve this problem?

This is the function im using.

mail( '"' . $emailto . '" <' . $emailto1 . '>',
$subject, $Body,
'Return-Path: "' . $From . '" <' . $From1 . ">\n"
.. 'From: "' . $From . '" <' . $From1 . ">\n"
.. 'Reply-To: "' . $From . '" <' . $From1 . ">\n"
.. "MIME-Version: 1.0\n Content-Type: multipart/mixed;\nX-Mailer: PHP/"
.. phpversion() . "\n"
.. "X-From-IP: " . $REMOTE_ADDR );
