help needed using mail()

[luckyblackcat]

Hi,

I need a script to send an email.

I can send ok if I keep it simple ....

mail($to, $subject, $message);

as soon as I try to add $from or $headers the mail never arrives.

I need to have at least .. FROM on the email as it doesn't look good having my host servers _root in that field!

I did have a list of headers to help bypass junk mail filters. They don't seem to work. I'll include them just in case a 'real' expert is reading this. (lol)
==========================================================
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1\n";
$headers .= "X-Priority: 1\n";
$headers .= "X-MSMail-Priority: High\n";
$headers .= "X-Mailer: php\n";
$headers .= &quot;From: \&quot;&quot;.$myname.&quot;\&quot; <&quot;.$myemail.&quot;>\n&quot;;
===========================================================

As I said help with from would be great anything else a real bonus.


Thanks for reading this.

Two suggestions of things to try:

At the end of each line, put \r\n, not just \n

Do not put the \n at the end of your additional headers. ______________________________________________________________________
