I'm successfully sending mails with my PHP script but for some reason the mails doesn't turn up on hotmails. Not even in the junk folder.

I've tried all kinds of headers and SPF

Any ideas?

Probably some sort of error from your part. Try resending the email and enable log. Also, you should try with a trusted smtp, this worked in the past for me in some tests.

Well it works just fine for gmail (junk folder atleast)

My code should work. I'm using hostwinds with a dedicated IP. Not sure why hotmail won't receive it?

If you are using PHP's built in mail() function Hotmail is likely rejecting your mails as spam. As stated above, you should be using a properly configured SMTP server if you require reliable inboxing.

Try this robust PHP mailer library:

Code:

You may also try with pear mail with a decent smtp server

I think hotmail is rejecting your email as spam. a good decent SMTP server will do the trick. try considering it.

well your issue is simple what you need to do is send the emails from a authenticated domain and spoof the sender that way the hotmail will not block the email they using email scanners like mime cast
