hi,


i am just filling so mad, i am facing this problem for a week now i just tried evrey thing i can, even contacting Microsoft.

the problem is that when i send emails from my site using web mail or php mail() function the message is not received to hot mail.

But when i send using outlook from the same email address the mail is delivered to hotmail inbox .

i think there is a problem with sendmail configuration or what?

Any errors in your mail log? Is your server blacklisted? http://www.mxtoolbox.com/blacklists.aspx

falko,

as i just send to you in my PM . it is a mail header problem. it seems that hotmail some times refuse to receive eamils in text format. but receives eamils from the same side as an html format .

as I said before when using outlook to send emails from my mail server to hotmail , every thing works fine.

see what happened, I change the outlook mail format to text not html, and mail failed . this means that hotmail some times receives emails that have a special mail header format.

the question is, what is the this format?

i will try to find it and put the solution here

Not sure why this happens. I'd contact Hotmail.
