Email not sending to Hotmail
I have a strange problem. I have a script that sends out emails and it used to work fine to all email addresses, but I recently moved the site to a dedicated server and now it won't send out emails to any Hotmail accounts. None of the Hotmail accounts have got spam filters on and they all used to get email from the site. All of the script is the same as I say the only difference is the site is now on a dedicated server. Both the old and new servers are RedHat Linux using php5. I went into the php.ini file and all I found for SMTP is:

Quote:
[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = localhost
smtp_port = 25

; For Win32 only.
;sendmail_from = me@example.com

; For Unix only. You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail -t -i").
sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i
The send_mail() function is:

Code:
<?php

function send_mail($to, $from, $subject, $message)
{
	global $g;
	if (isset($g['options']['mail_html']) and $g['options']['mail_html'] == "Y") $ct = "text/html";
	else $ct = "text/plain";
	if (isset($g['options']['mail_utf8']) and $g['options']['mail_utf8'] == "Y") {
		$headers = "From: " . $from . "\n";
		$headers .= "Content-Type: " . $ct . "; charset=utf-8;\n";
		$headers .= "Reply-To: " . $from . ";\n";
		$headers .= "Return-Path: " . $from . ";\n";
	} else {
		$headers = "From: " . $from . "\n";
		$headers .= "Content-Type: " . $ct . ";\n";
		$headers .= "Reply-To: " . $from . ";\n";
		$headers .= "Return-Path: " . $from . ";\n";		
	}
	if (isset($g['options']['mail_utf8_subject']) and $g['options']['mail_utf8_subject'] == "Y") $subject = '=?UTF-8?B?'.base64_encode(trim(preg_replace('#[\n\r]+#s', '', $subject)))."?=\n";
	mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
}

but that all works fine. It's just that the emails aren't being sent to Hotmail addresses.
