Gary,
I noticed that your From header and your Reply-to headers are different. In my
experience, hotmail (and many others) will penalize you and stick your email in
the spam folder, or delay delivery. You are not doing anything "illegal" per
say but nevertheless, it's a red flag to a lot of free email providers.
Cheers,
Rada

Hi,
When people register,they will have their own username and password.In order to
active their account,they have to go to their email acct to click the link to
active pages.
Here is my source code:
// send a message to the user's email account with a verification link
$subject = 'BarterJunk.com account activation for ' . $username;
// header of the verification email message
$header = 'From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]' . "\r\n" .
'Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]' . "\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
// text of the verification email message
$verification_message =
"{$username},\n\n" .
"Please visit the link below to activate your new BarterJunk.com
account.\n\n" .
"http://www.barterjunk.com/?activation_code="; .
$user_data['activation_hash'] . "\n";
// send the message
mail( $email, $subject, $verification_message, $header );
It works,but it takes very long time.After people submit all their
information,they will get verification email after 20-30 minutes.I use hotmail
to test
Any better solution?
Thanks!
chad

It's not your code, it's the underlying email system.
Most likely, hotmail is greylisting your domain, so it has to wait
until
the retry occurs to deliver it.
