    the code is correct, the problem must be in your php.ini file. I used to have the same problem in my local apache-php setup and with some free php hosts. Then I bought a hosting account and my code started working perfectly.

    You can use phpmailer instead of mail function

    Hi everyone,

    I am also facing similar issue with hotmail receipts. On my site, there is a way to send out emails to people using 2 different accounts (e..g abc@site.com and xyz@site.com)

    emails sent out using abc@site.com to hotmail account is received fine (still in junk mail folder, though), while emails sent out using xyz@site.com to a hotmail account were never received (not even in junk mail).

    The application is written in PHP and both mailing functionality using same code.

    Any pointers would be appreciated.

    Thanks,
    KD
