Php Mail() Problems

[darkwoof]

I've already sent a support ticket, but Support seemed to have misunderstood my problem. While I've sent another ticket to clearify, I would appreciate it if I could get other's comments too.

 

I've written a system RSVP system where I could specify and event and a list of people, and then by selecting them I could send the RSVP invitations to them using PHP's mail(). The script was finished about 1-2 months back ago, and when I tested it then, it was working well. Yesterday while I was demonstrating the website to one of my supervisors, I sent out invitations to different email addresses, (hotmail, dogmail.com, email.com, my school mail) and realised that I could not receive them at any of them. Later on in the day I did some tests, and found that all external emails could not receive the invitations. However, if the invitations were sent to my own account at totalchoice (i.e. christian@alphainitiative.com), i would be able to receive it almost instantaneously. I'm thinking there's something wrong with either php's mail(), or the sendmail program (which from what I read up on, is what mail() uses).

 

Any one has any experience (or better still, a solution)? I'm scheduled to have another demonstration soon, so it's kinda urgent.

 

Thanks in advance.

This may have been caused by recent changes to the way php handles email.

 

I have made some changes to your server, please try this function again and update this post with your results.

 

Thanks

Yes! It is now working just like before. Mail was received almost instantaneously.

 

Are these changes to PHP you mentioned on Totalchoice servers only or PHP in general? If you don't mind, Bill, could you point me where I could read up on these changes? I'm still learning PHP as I go along.

 

Guess its high time I use this:

Hi

 

I have several domains with TCH and appear to have the same problem. The two that are affected are cheapercover.com and freebb.co.uk.

 

On cheapercover no emails get through to external email addresses and on freebb.co.uk, all external emails are returned with 'unroutable mail domain'.

 

Can you change my hosting as well, so that it works as it did before.

 

 

Cheers

I also have had this same problem for the past week or so, and I was going nuts thinking it was something in phpNuke causing it.

 

I just put in a ticket; my domain is finalturn.com.
