Mail() problem regarding hotmail/gmail/yahoo etc

Hi,

php beginner here...
I'm having some trouble sending mail with php to hotmail/gmail
accounts. Other domains work fine (recieved email after 2 minutes).
Hotmail accounts do not receive the mail at all.

Does anyone have any experience/solution to this issue?

My code is below:

$message = "Click this (exact) link for activation: $link";
$message = wordwrap($message, 70);
$headers = "From: support@xxx.com\n"; // I suggest you try using only
\n
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: Support \n";
$headers .= "X-Priority: 1\n";
$headers .= "X-MSMail-Priority: High\n";
$headers .= "X-Mailer: My mailer";

mail($email,$subject,$message,$headers);

the $email variable is deklared outside this code. And works fine.

Regards,

Hush

Might be related to the fact that you are using text/html as the content
type; in most cases this is regarded as originating from spammers.

Always include a Content-Type: text/plain section in your mail messages
to prevent this...
