Having problem with voting form double opt-in

    Hi Guys...

    I have written a script, in php and mysql, to record votes.
    What the script does is to display a form, with about 20 fields, to vote for your choice in about 20 categories.
    I have made only 3 fields compulsary; Name, Email and Country.
    In order to avoid spam and duplication I have used a double opt-in system.
    i.e. when the 'Vote Now' button is clicked the script sends an email to the voter and includes a link back to the script to register the vote. It also checks that the email has not previously voted.

    I have a voter who says that she does not receive a verification email to return the vote. She also says that she has 3 friends who do not receive the verification email.

    In order to check possible problems, I have sent an email direct from my computer which she received. I have also sent an email directly from the server command line which she received.
    I thought a possibility was because of the long link so I sent an email direcly from the server and included the verification link. She received that also.

    Her email address is: @hotmail.co.uk and a friend is: @hotmail.com.
    I checked for hotmail email addresses in the database and other people have registered their votes with a hotmail email address. Therefore it is not hotmail that is blocking mail from a form.

    I am now stumped as to why she cannot receive.

    Can anybody think of any possible reason that I can check ???

    Thanks,

    John C
