Hi,
I have a fairly simple script written that uses the mail() function on a 
client site hosted at Interland. I have used a similar script quite a few 
times before with no problem. However although the script generates no 
errors, no emails appear at their intended destination. Interland support 
has not been that helpful and they did suggest I try the '-f' option in the 
header. That did not work either. Has anyone seen this before, I am running 
out of ideas. The mail portion of the script is below:

$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1\n";
$headers .= "X-Priority: 1\n";
$headers .= "X-MSMail-Priority: High\n";
$headers .= "X-Mailer: php\n";
$headers .= "From: $emailfrom\n";
$mailsent = mail($emailto, $subject, $msg, $headers,"-f" . $emailfrom);
Any help would be MUCH appreciated.

If you haven't solved this yet, try sending it via SMTP instead of using 
mail(). This will require that you send it by first logging into a valid 
e-mail account and sending it through a socket. PEAR::Mail 
 can do all this for you.

Take a look at the documentation here:

The headers seem to be fine, except maybe for those priority headers 
that are useless and may be the cause of some spam filters understand it 
as a pattern of spam.

Other than that, you are not telling what exactly you are putting in the 
$emailto, $subject and $msg, and there you may because commiting a fault 
that may cause that your message be discarded. Without telling what you 
are putting there, it is hard to help further.
