Ha, how funny, I used to own dream hosting! Anyway, try sending your emails via the smtp server rather than the php mail() function. Something like PHPMailer will do the job and allow you to manage the email content a lot better too: http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpmailer/files/
used to own it??? why did u let go?? hope is not cz u realise its a bad host??? anything i should know??
No definately not a bad host, it was a good 4+ years ago I owned it and i sold it really because I no longer had the time to manage it. The guys that bought it have really grown it since them and all I read are good reviews over the web so you've got nothing to worry about.
